After upgrade to Sonoma Touch ID stopped working to unlock by single touch

After upgrading to Sonoma, the fingerprint button (or the power button) stopped unlocking after it has been touched. Any other key should be pressed along to get the system unlocked. Only with a second key pressed before or after the fingerprint button touched the system accepts Touch ID instead of typing a password.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.0

I am having the same problem, touchID does not work anymore. I deleted my fingerprints and now I cannot re-enrolled them. I have clean the fingerprint and fingers but nothing works. my MacBook Air M1 is like new!

Everything used to work until I upgrade to Sonoma.
