Touch ID Does Not Work

Greetings 1PW,

When I click on the fingerprint icon upon opening 1PW, a window flashes on/off quickly but I can't use my finger to log in on my Magic Keyboard (M1 iMac). I've unselected and reselected Touch ID in Pref>Security that I found in another post but no luck.

Also, my Apple Watch no longer opens it either. And I did the same pref toggle.

I'd appreciate some guidance. Thanks.

I had the same problem , I fixed it by deleting finger print and redoing the bio process . But Touch ID was greyed out Pref>Security in the password app . Once I redone the bio process( new finger print ) it started working .

This worked! Thank you so much. My bad for assuming 1PW was the issue. :)
