Already tried restart, Touch id on/off etc. Nothing helped. After my macbook pro 2019 is idle for more than 10 minutes, i always have to login with password because touch id isn't even showing up to login. Please fix!
Thanks for your reply - I hadn't seen it till now as I was innocently believing I would get a message telling me there was an update in a conversation I had contributed to. But no! Came on here today to report that the issue is still happening after I updated the software to Sonoma 14.8.2 yesterday (which itself took a few days to do, as the download kept getting stuck). Same issue. I had followed the instruction in the link you gave before. But my laptop touch pad just doesn't seem to recognise I'm touching it when the fingerprint screen is there - stays resolutely grey and unchanging, with the only option being to 'cancel'. I'm stumped!

There are times when the notifications are really broken & never get received, then there are other times the notifications can be delayed by many hours. Apple had a huge issue during the this thread.
Double check your account settings for this forum to make sure the notifications are configured correctly as well. It has been a long time since I joined here that I don't recall what the default settings are & they may have changed anyway over the years.

I've seen a couple of threads on this forum about the TouchID issues, but have yet to see any posts mentioning the issue has been fixed. I think your post is the first one to acknowledge testing with the 14.8.2 update (or similar corresponding update for Sequoia).
Same happening on my Macbook Pro M1. Touch ID works for a couple of minutes and then it stops working. Tried removing the fingerprints and re-adding, which helps for a short period and then the problem occurs again. Very frustrating.
Everytime my newly updated laptop goes to sleep, when it awakens, I have to use my password.
Without fail. Every time. Didn't have this hassle before 14.8.
I have the same Issue, since using 14.8.1

Same issue for me since update yesterday. Fine for apps and websites that use Touch ID but not for login from sleep or start up.
Got the same issue on my MacBook Air 2018 with Sonoma 14.8.1. Tried resetting SMC. It didn't solve the problem. A solution would be appreciated.
Touch ID not working for login since Sonoma 14.8
