My touch ID was not working so I removed the finger print I had and tried to add a new one. I said it was unable to create a new one. Thinking this was an error I restarted the system. When it came back up, touch ID was no longer in my system preferences.

Need more help?
Assuming you are using the Apple keyboard with TouchID, try the following:
-power down the keyboard and physically connect it to the Mac then power back up and see if that works
-totally remove pairing the keyboard as a Bluetooth device, power down, and do the above process. This should re-pair the keyboard with the Mac as a"new" device.
Touch ID is missing on my mac mini running 12.5.1
