Why is the option to open with TouchID no longer in the Security Tab in Preferences?

I see it there

Yup--and I don't anymore. That's the problem.

@Jeffois

That generally means the OS is not telling us it (Touch ID) is available. Do you have an Intel device? If so, I'd recommend and SMC reset and see if that sorts it. You can also turn all the options off on the OS Touch ID settings and turn them back on. Typically I turn them off, do an SMC reset and then turn them on again.

 Apple Support - How to perform a SMC reset.

I'm on an M1 MBP. I'll try the toggling in the OS settings, for sure.

Toggling in the settings and a full restart of the computer worked!!

Thank you!

I'm happy that Tommy's suggestion helped resolve the issue. 🙂
