Macbook Password Authenticator
My Macbook Pro seems to automatically use my Apple Watch as the default Password Authenticator instead of Touch ID. Is there anyway to make it use Touch ID?

You can turn off that functionality so that the Apple Watch is no longer used to authorize access:

Yes, you may have to restart your Mac. You could also restart your iPhone and Apple Watch for good measure.
Thank you, I tried doing that in settings but when I press the toggle it doesn't turn on? It slides over then just jumps back to the off position. I think I may just need to reset my Mac.
Thank You!
