enable dragging in ventura trackpad

When I was using Catalina I could use the trackpad to drag windows around or select text. I just needed one finger that I would tap twice quickly to start dragging or selecting. This feature I think was allowed by "enable dragging" which I could back then select in the system settings -> trackpad options. However, this option is not present now in my system settings (or at least not in the trackpad menu).

Could somebody help me on how to enable this feature in Mac Ventura version 13.0. I really miss this feature.

Thanks in advance.

I found it: go to "System Settings" -> "Accessibility" -> "Pointer Control" -> "Trackpad Options" -> "Use trackpad for dragging". Then choose your dragging style, e.g. "With Drag Lock". Also see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vefxU1tojJk.
