Fingerprint sensor not responding on MacBook Air

After I came back from a month long trip, i tried opening my laptop as usual and it asked me to unlock with a code which i thought was the standard practice, but after i closed it and opened it again it didn't automatically unlock using my finger print ID instead i had to click on the enter password and then type the password. I thought it's a bug and I shut down the machine completely and restart it and went through the same process but it still didn't work. I looked for updates, installed them, restart the machine and it still didn't work. It hasn't worked since then. I erased all the fingerprints and tried installing them again and it doesn't register.

I don't understand what happened but my fingerprint sensor isn't working.

MacBook Air M2. bought it a few months ago
