There is a weird delay on touch id, is it a problem? I upload a video. It reclose the device after I click 2-3 times touch or I click after while a time.Video
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.2
After taking a second look at your vid, I hear you pressing the Touch ID button.
What is happening then is normal operation of the button and the OS. I can recreate it on my own MBA under Sequoia.
A single press of the TID button takes the Mac to the lock screen. A second press - or simply touching the button - returns me to the desktop or app I was using.
To me, your Touch ID button appears to be working just fine. It is, in fact, a multi-function button; press it to boot the Mac, simply touch it to ID a fingerprint and proceed, or press it to lock the screen.
Am I missing something?

Start by rebooting the computer and see if that eliminates the problem.
Try deleting the currently saved fingerprints and then add a fresh set.
Use Touch ID on Mac - Apple Support
I do note that if I press the TID button too quickly after the Mac awakens or returns to the desktop, then yes, it may require a second press to lock the screen again; a sign of a process not quite completed. If I allow 0:02 elapse, then the trigger works every time.
Do you often request the Mac to lock the screen immediately after being unlocked?
If so, there is a key chord for locking the screen; control-command-Q (⌃⌘Q).
It was macOS Sequoia 15.7.3. Every time I touched the touch bar, the session would instantly close and reopen.
Since reinstalling macOS 26.2 didn’t help and no one has come up with a fix (including Apple technical support) it’s likely the only thing you can do is submit feedback expressing your concern. If enough people who feel the same submit feedback perhaps Apple will notice.
For the time being you’ll just have to live with it. I don't know what else we fellow users can do for you at this time.
Didn't you notice how many times you click before the screen locks? The screen locks on the first click, then unlocks when I touch it again, but it doesn't lock on the third click, only on the fourth. On the Sequoia version, it works perfectly fine every time I click, but on the Tahoe 26.2, the screen locks with a delay. Check how many clicks it takes before the screen locks again.
Yes, the screen can lock again after about 2 seconds, but in the previous macOS version, it could unlock and lock instantly, and I could do this repeatedly. It seems they've disabled this feature. However, technical support said that such a delay shouldn't occur.
I resinstalled the macOS. It perfectly working on previous macOS version, but It's working like that on newest macOS Tahoe 26.2
There may have been a reason for the change, perhaps something technical and/or related to system or user security. Of course, this is only speculation.
What was your previous OS where this was different?
I am using a MacBook Air with Sequoia 15.7.3 and the two second rule seems to be in effect.
