Why is my 'MacBook Air Touch ID' not recognizing my fingerprint? Mine is a MacBook Air M2 (15", 2023). Initially the touch ID used to work like a charm, super fast. But recently, it has been giving me some serious issues. It can't recognize my finger most of the time. As a result, I have to type in my password which is pretty annoying, specially when I'm trying to be quick. One thing I should mention is that I have no issue deleting and adding in my fingerprint again. That still doesn't solve the issue. Also, this is not specific to any particular instance, this tends to happen almost everywhere, logging into my computer, unlocking notes, verifying purchases etc. What to do? Is there something I'm missing out on? Also my software is up to date. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

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]
