I recently acquired a Mac Mini M2, 16G, 512G, 2023. I purchased a wireless Magic Keyboard, and set up the Touch ID. Worked fine yesterday, but this morning I cannot get the TouchID to "wake up" my machine. I'm sure I have a setting wrong somewhere. Love to hear your thoughts. TIA.

Meanwhile, plug the keyboard into the Mac with the Lightning cable that came with it. The Mac will now see it as a USB keyboard. The keyboard will recharge and the Touch ID may work as it should. Leave the keyboard connected for several hours - with the Mac powered on - to allow the battery to fully recharge before you disconnect and go wireless again.
Sleep is unnecessary for later Macs and should be disabled. Shut for long absences and overnights and use the settings shown here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254541465 for regular use, should fix.
