Yes I am having the same issue, I tried removing the applesetupdone file (as suggested here, but that only bricked my mac. I succeeded in going back to recovery mode and recreating the file via terminal.
What have you tried? I may try a hard reset to Catalina if this issue is not resolved soon. Re-entering my password constantly is a drag.
I have the same problem as described by @Tony_R. Seems to work once after reboot, then never works again.
However unlike the OP I *can* add new fingerprints. I removed my existing one and added a new one but the unlock still does not work.
Something I want to clarify: the login prompt still says TouchID can be used. I.e. there are situations where your password is required, TouchID is not allowed but the login prompt will say "your password is required" or some such. This is *not* that situation.
Same. Tried creating an additional fingerprint including previous print stored pre-Big Sur. Tried deleting previous pre-Big Sur print leaving only new post-Big Sur print. Tried deleting all prints. Turning off touch ID setting allowing unlock of mac. Recreated new print and turned on Touch ID login setting. None worked. These messages have been posted for several months. Is Apple reading these or just leaving the community to fend for themselves?
Same problem mbp 15 2019. now the text indicate using touch id won't show up on touch bar. I can remove fingers and add new ones. But that didn't help.
When I installed Big Sur, the same thing happened to me, my fingerprints weren't working. I went to setting and added them again on Touch ID, hope this helps :) Otherwise, contact Apple Support
