TouchID / Apple Watch issues with macOS Tahoe RC1

I've observed this in versions 81112020 (Nightly), as well as the corresponding beta and release builds.

After installing the Tahoe RC1 (26.0/25A353), I've found that Touch ID has become a bit quirky.

Under Preferences → Security, altering the Touch ID and Apple Watch settings, I've seen the following, when trying to unlock 1Password (or access ssh keys, etc.):

 Touch ID OnTouch ID off
Apple Watch On

One of two things happen:

  • Touch ID prompt appears on top of the Apple Watch prompt.  Using Touch ID dismisses the Touch ID prompt, but does not unlock 1Password until the Apple Watch prompt is dismissed by approving from the Apple Watch.  Dismissing the Apple Watch prompt by pressing escape requires that I use my account password to unlock.
  • If I unlock using my password with just Touch ID enabled, I can then enable Apple Watch, and unlocking works as expected.
Works as expected.
Apple Watch Off

Prompted for my account password with the message, "Touch ID sensor is currently unavailable. You need to sign in using your account password."

After that, I can lock and unlock using Touch ID.

Works as expected.
