Touch ID not responding

I set up touch ID on my magic keyboard but it is not working. Any ideas?

Mac Studio, macOS 13.0

Not working how...zero, zip, nada, nothing ?


Old issue, new issue, what changed?


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 Preferences (when FileVault is on)

• If 5 wrong fingerprint attempts
