Touch ID not working on MacMini

Touch ID stopped working on my Mac mini a few days ago, it seems after I set up a new MacBook Air using the Mac mini. The option to use touch ID is greyed out in the Touch ID & Password section.

Mac mini, macOS 13.4

Touch ID is grayed out. The option to use Touch ID on my iMac 24 with the wireless keyboard is grayed out. It was working fine until I returned home after a three week trip and now can't get it to work. I have the latest version of OS Ventura 13.5.1 and the problem may have started after the recent upgrade.

Touch ID on Macbook Pro M2 not working - Possible Fix I Have tried everything to get my MacBook Pro M2 touch ID to work. What I did discover is that if I use the bottom of my palm (where my thumb is) and let it touch the area beside the trackpad, then touch the ID with my index finger - "L" shape. It works every time. Plus this worked for my wife's MacBook as well! Will not work if I just use my index finger.
