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.

Mac Pro (2023)

Yeah, for me, as well. My palm of the hand needs to touch the metal chassis (just right of the trackpad) for it to work. I tried it, keeping my hand in the air and only touching the TouchID button, and it did not work.


Interesting :D
