I've been using the new MacBook Pro M1 for a week now, but unfortunately, the touch ID is not consistently responding to unlock my device. It occasionally works, but most of the time there is no response. I have tried setting up different fingerprints, but even then, the touch ID doesn't seem to work. It appears to be non-functional. Can you please explain why this issue is occurring?

If Touch ID isn't working on your Mac
If Touch ID isn't working on your Mac - Apple Support
note— There are a few instances where Touch ID will not be accepted by macOS:
• If you restarted your Mac, or if you're not logged into your user account.
• If you have not unlocked your Mac for 48 hours.
• If you are trying to unlock Security & Privacy
• If you are trying to unlock Users & Groups Settings (when FileVault is on)
• If 5 wrong fingerprint attempts
