Safari Autofill through Touch ID doesn't work

Touch ID doesn't work with Autofill in Safari, even though I have all the settings right for Safari Autofill and Touch ID , the autofill option pops up when it's needed however, when I put my finger on the Touch ID button, it doesn't fill anything.

Touch ID works fine with log-ins , but not with Safari.

MacOs is up-to-date.

Hello Melkhafif,


We would start by working through these steps found at Autofill your user name and password in Safari on Mac - Apple Support:


If you can’t save a password for a website, or your password for a website isn’t filled in automatically, try any of the following:

• Make sure you selected to autofill passwords: Choose Safari > Preferences, click AutoFill, then make sure “User names and passwords” is selected.

• Check whether you chose to never save the password for the website: Choose Safari > Preferences, click Passwords, then unlock your passwords. If a website’s password shows “never saved,” click  to remove it from this list. Then click  to add the website, your user name, and your password to the list.

• Make sure you chose to use Touch ID for passwords: If your Mac or Apple keyboard has Touch ID, and you want to use Touch ID to fill in user names and passwords, make sure you select Password AutoFill in the Touch ID pane of System Preferences. See Change Touch ID preferences.


Be sure to check the other information outlined on that page.


Cheers.
