Touch ID problem ? I have a difficult time with Touch ID. My configuration a Mac Mini M2 with an Apple Magic keyboard with touch ID en Ventura 13.4 sometimes stops with recognising the touch ID hold way work. I have to restart the Mac completely to get it working again ? Surely not very satisfying . I also removed the administered Touch-ID and restarted the machine and scanned a finger of mine again. Sur it did work then but never the whole time. Do I do something wrong Doris the software not OK. What to do that touch-ID works continually for years to come . Frankly it makes me somewhat nervous behind my own computer. Hopefully there is an answer for this.

M1 2021 touch id delay or not responding Using MacBook Pro 14", M1, 2021, 16GB RAM, macOS 12.5 Monterey 21G72. Since upgrading to the latest macOS. I have been having delay or failure to log-in using the Touch ID especially after a couple of hours of in activity. I have to touch the touch ID button several times or even press the button before it works but more ofter it fails at least twice daily. I have to log-in using the password and the touch ID will function for few hours before it fails again. Anyone facing similar issues or have a solution in mind?
