MacBook Air Touch id sometimes don't work

My device is the m1 chip MacBook Air. I found out that sometimes when I try to unlock my Mac with Touch ID it doesn't responds. It forces me to use password to unlock. When I shut down my Mac again and wanted to try to use Touch ID to open it again, it just won't open! Is the a know bug or just my own problem?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5

After a reboot, you have to enter your password before you can start using Touch ID.


You might try wiping the Touch ID key with a slightly damp cloth.
