Login TouchID not working The fingerprint TouchID to log in to my iMac has stopped working. Passcode is OK, and the fingerprint works for logging in to websites, etc. I tried restarting the iMac which has worked in the past, but that hasn't helped now. In addition, all the options in the TouchID preference panel are grayed out except the one to delete my fingerprint, with no obvious way to un-gray them. I'm reluctant to delete my fingerprint until I know that I can replace it. Any thoughts as to what might be the problem? Thanks, Paul.

Fingerprint Problems with iMac Pro My Mac is a iMac Pro with 8 Core Xeon, running Sonoma 14 iOS. I am using an Apple keyboard with Fingerprint sensor. I am not able to set the fingerprint on the computer. When I go under the System Settings I am not able to find the Touch ID system for use with my Mac. Any Ideas?

That recently happened to me and restarting the iMac resolved the issue.

If that doesn't help, you may want to try setting the fingerprint up again in System Preferences.
