After upgrade to Sonoma 14.6 Touch ID stopped working to unlock by single touch. My Touch ID stopped working. Removing my existing fingerprints, I am now not able to add any fingerprint at all.
I am still able to unlock by double pressing on my Watch (With latest Watch OS).
MacBook Air, macOS 14.6
Updating to 14.6.1 solved my issue. After update, as I logged in again after restart, it prompted me to enroll in Touch ID automatically (I had deleted the only fingerprint for troubleshooting purposes and couldn’t re-add before), and it now completed successfully! Unlocking computer and password manager both work again.
Same issue. Slow to Unlock after upgrading to 14.6
I am also experiencing a slow response to Touch ID within the logon screen following the update to MacOS Sonoma 14.6 (done yesterday).
Same issue - very slow to unlock after 14.6 upgrade... Anyone found a solution?
For those having unlocking issues:
Are your devices running Intel or Apple Silicon?
Are your devices provided by your employer and/or setup with MDM/Intune?
MBP M1, MBA M2, MBP M3 all have the issue. MBP M1 is with MDM
Hello, having the same issue here MBP M1 Pro, has anyone discovered a workaround yet?
M1 and intune
Same issue here - slow TouchID unlock after upgrading to 14.6
After upgrading my Macbook Air M3 to 14.6, touch ID has simply stopped working. It can't be used for anything, including unlocking the screen or password managers etc.
Same issue with my business MacBook M2 Pro.
Mainly with login sessions to MacOS. I noticed it after updating to 14.6
Several colleagues complain about this problem
Solved mine as well!
@PRP_53 how come 14.6.1 fixed my issue without any changes in our MDM. you have been pushing us that the problem is on the MDM but its definetelly otherwise.

Upgraded to 14.6.1. Unlock still very slow for me unfortunately.
14.6.1 did not fix it for my M1
