I recently bought a brand new MacBook Air 13.6" M2 chip 2022, and after almost a week my MacBook always says "Use password to enable Touch ID" for those past days. Is there a specific way to fix it?
MacBook Air, macOS 14.2
Have you ever been able to use fingerprint recognition with this laptop since you configured it?
Have you tried rebooting the laptop? This is required after you setup TouchID. Plus macOS will require a password when you reboot the Mac and once every few days or a week if you just sleep & wake the computer.
Here are two Apple articles with information about TouchID:
Use Touch ID on Mac - Apple Support
If Touch ID isn't working on your Mac - Apple Support
It might be the same issue a lot of people are reporting that happens after update to Sonoma. I'm don't even know if Apple is working on it. Over time the touch ID will stop working completely. It's been second month for me like this.
You can disable the Touch ID through your settings, password, then it will say Touch ID. You can set up the Touch ID, or disable the Touch ID, and use just your password to access your MacBook.
Mac always says use password to enable Touch ID to unlock my laptop.
