I love One Touch ID activation!
But my MacBook Air 2022 with Monterey requires One Touch every time/always when computer has simply been in Sleep mode or Screen Saver activity.
Just moving mouse alone doesn't restore computer screen as in past (on MBPro with Catalina).
Tiny irritant but I'd like to eliminate it! How? TIA
MacBook Air 11″, OS X 10.10
Hello,
Ensure the password isn't set to be required when waking the Mac from sleep, by following these steps:
Require a password after waking your Mac - Apple Support
"On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, then click General.
Select “Require password… after sleep or screen saver begins.”
Click the pop-up menu and choose the time that passes before a password is required."
Additionally, the following actions are required for waking the Mac from sleep:

It was required! I didn't know about that. Thank you
On my M1 MBA - the " One Touch Activation " aka Touch ID will not function after a period of Sleep and will not function from a Cold Boot.
Above are all normal behaviours.
The Manual Typing In the password is required and that too is totally normal and is by Apple Design.
Suggest following the advise from the previous postings and the links they have included
The Touch ID on Apple Computers does not function like on some Older Apple iPhones which have the Touch ID button and later replaced by Face ID which effectively eliminated the Touch ID button altogether
Greetings,
In order to manage what you use Touch ID for, review the guidance found here:
Use Touch ID on Mac - Apple Support
Change Touch ID preferences on Mac - Apple Support
"Rename or delete fingerprints
> System Preferences, then click Touch ID 
. Take care.
Thank you for reply.
But none of those references deal with my simple issue.
They deal with much more rigorous issues none of which I have.
Or if they "solve" my irritant I don't see how.
