touch id always says: "password is required" I cannot wake up my Mac with Touch Id. When the option "require password after screen saver begins" is set, I assumed that touch id would work. But in fact it always says "password is required". (Not only the firs time, not every 48 hours, but *always*). So in fact touch id is useless for me. Is there some setting that I miss? What is the correct way to unlock the Mac with touch id?

My Mac is requiring my password in every single day, even though touch ID is enabled When I upgraded my OS, the touch ID feature has now reverted to requiring a password to unlock my Mac every single day, even though I haven't shut it down or restared it. When I open the laptop, the screen looks just it does when you fully restart the Mac, versus giving me the option to unlock with touch ID. How do I fix this in system settings to only require touch ID to bring it out of sleep mode? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Cannot turn on touch ID on iMac Touch ID stopped working for me to unlock my iMac on my wireless keyboard. I made sure that the imac is updated. The keyboard is charged. I went into system preferences and saw that Touch ID was turned off in system settings. It won't allow me to toggle it on?
