Unable to enable Touch ID

I just installed my new Mac Studio, M2 MAX. I am trying to setup the Touch IS but I'm unable to get past the first step.


The computer tells me to quickly double click the power button but nothing happens when I do this.


The Studio is running MACOS Ventura 13.4


Any ideas?

OK I found the problem. I did a Google search and found this article - https://mac-adviser.com/how-to-fix-touch-id-on-magic-keyboard/. The first comment was the fix. I apparently wasn't double clicking the MAC Studio power switch fast enough.


I tried it again but with a fast double click and it worked.
