Touch ID disabled

I'm on a mac mini M1 with an apple touch ID keyboard using Sequoia 15.3.2.  The touch ID works on my keyboard (for mac sign in and out) but I can't seem to figure out how to enable it to work with 1p...

    Hello chops! 👋

    I'm sorry that you're unable to turn on Touch ID unlock for 1Password. Try the following steps: 

    1. Completely turn off your Mac and then turn it on to restart it. (Don't skip this step.)
    2. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
    3. Choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Touch ID & Password.
    4. Turn off all of the features, then turn all of them back on again.
    5. Go back to 1Password and choose 1Password > Settings from the menu bar.
    6. Click the Security icon, then turn on "Touch ID".
    7. Lock 1Password by choosing 1Password > Lock from the menu bar.
    8. Now try unlocking 1Password using Touch ID.


    If that doesn't work then I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Mac:

    Send a diagnostics report (Mac)

    Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to support@1password.com

    With your email please include:
