Every other time I open my MacBook Pro it is requiring my password for touch id. I am not restarting or shutting down, only closing the computer between uses to put it to sleep.
What's the point of touch id if I have to enter my password 50% of the time, even without restarting or shutting down?
"If you have problems with Touch ID"
If Touch ID isn't working on your Mac - Apple Support
ref: There are a few instances where Touch ID will not be accepted by macOS:
• If you restarted your Mac, or if you're not logged into your user account.
• If you have not unlocked your Mac for 48 hours.
• If you are trying to unlock Security & Privacy
• If you are trying to unlock Users & Groups Preferences (when FileVault is on)
• If 5 wrong fingerprint attempts
If no insight —remove all finger prints and re-enter.
