touch id failed on iMac keyboard

My touch ID on the keyboard is not registering my fingerprint anymore. I deleted the fingerprint to start again and "reset". Now it gives me a failed message when I try to register a new fingerprint

Touch ID stopped working completely on MacBook Pro M2 Hi everyone, I’m experiencing a persistent issue with Touch ID on my MacBook Pro 2023 M2. A few days ago Touch ID stopped working completely. I can’t add any new fingerprints, and the system simply does not respond when I try to register one. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: Verified permissions and biometric configuration via Terminal Checked biometrickitd logs (showing errors related to OpenDirectory UUID lookup) Verified user UUID is present and correct Performed a clean install of macOS via macOS Recovery (erased the disk, reinstalled Sequoia) Verified that no biometric templates exist before trying to add a new fingerprint Despite all of this, Touch ID still doesn’t work, and I always get the same result: no fingerprint can be added. The command bioutil --count shows There are no biometric templates in the system, and logs consistently show this error: getUserUUIDsForUIDs: resultsAllowingPartial failed, err = Error Domain=com.apple.OpenDirectory Code=4200 I’m not using any MDM, and I’m on the only admin account on the machine. Does anyone have any idea what else I can try, or is this likely a hardware issue? Thanks in advance! [Re-Titled by Moderator]
