Have to type password to unlock notes, instead of using Touch ID

I don't know if it's an issue or if it is intentional, but every time I need to unlock my locked notes from my Mac, I have to type the password because Touch ID will not unlock it.

As you can see in the screenshot the Touch ID is enabled in Notes settings.

After I typed the password the first time, it looks like, for a while (I cannot tell the range of time), I can unlock the notes also with Touch ID (see the different icon with the fingerprint logo).

That's strange, because from my iPhone, I can always unlock notes with Face ID.


Does anybody know how to unlock notes always with Touch ID from Mac?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.2
