Touch ID not working

I bought my macbook like a month ago , At first i used to shutdown my macbook after using , but after knowing that one doesn't have to shut down thier mac all the time so i stopped doing it and started putting it in sleep mode that's when i started noticing that my touch ID stopped working . I tried to add a new fingerprint but that was not working at all


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5

Two Things:


A. Clean your Finger:

Is your finger clean and dry? If not, clear it, rinse it with water, and the dry it up.


and..


B. Still having Issues?
