Hi, I'm trying to install a new Magic Keyboard with Touch ID on my older Mac. It's a M1 chip, running Sonoma 14.8. However, I'm unable to get the Touch ID button to appear on the side bar of System Settings. I've tried several 'fixes' discussed in the Community, but haven't found a one that specifically addresses the issue of lack of the Touch ID button. Anybody out there had this problem.

The Touch ID button appears in System Settings only when your M1 Mac detects a valid Touch ID sensor from your Magic Keyboard. If the Touch ID pane is missing, macOS isn’t seeing that sensor. Fixes include pairing the keyboard over Bluetooth (not USB), re-pairing so it identifies as “Magic Keyboard with Touch ID,” adjusting accessory connection permissions, resetting Bluetooth, and ensuring firmware updates. If none of that works, the keyboard’s Touch ID sensor may be defective.
You need to reevaluate your tools for providing assistance. I don't expect you will follow up to my post, as the only thing that has been provided in all of your previous posts is the simple AI response and the move along approach to gain points and Top Ranking replies which leans more to gaming the system instead of actually providing support that this site is known for. Make sure you are allowing Notifications for posts you have responded to so you are aware when additional follow up is needed. You can do better!

For Full Functionality of the New Apple USB-C keyboard with Touch ID builtin into the keyboard
As per Apple, will require running at least Sequoia 15.1

You are welcome
Though some suggestions may seem good and have a lot to Technical Details on the subject at hand
Knowing that a " new Magic Keyboard with Touch ID " with USB-C requires a newer version of macOS to function completely . . . . ?
Thanks for the info!
