Touch ID can't be setup.

What do you do when you can't setup your Touch ID in Macbook Pro? It failed even before touching the sensor. I'm using MacBook Pro 2020 with M1 Chip.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.3

Touch Id is not working I'm using a 14" MBP (M1 Pro). When I shut a lid and left it overnight, the issue began. I can't add a new fingerprint or unlock my MacBook with Touch Id, and nothing happens when I place my finger on the sensor. One hour later, the touch ID will function normally. And continue doing so every day. what should I do?

You should visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place and ask them to diagnose your MacBook Pro:
