Running Beta 10.13 on a MacBook Pro late-2016 with TouchBar. The Touch ID system preference is completely gone!

This is the error I get when I try to open using Spotlight:

"You can’t open the “Touch ID” preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time. To see this preferences pane, you may need to connect a device to your computer."


I reset the SMC and the NVRAM and still nothing.


Any ideas?

Did anyone solve this yet? I have a 2017 MBP and touch id is still AWOL.

My MBP 15" 2016 with touch bar and macOS 10.13.1 beta (17B42a). I can see and access the Touch ID preference pane in System Preferences.

Hello, I just went through a day or two of just messing around with this problem, and I found a solution for it(which is why I'm posting) In order to fix it you simply need to
A: Boot into safemode, then reboot into normal or
B: Reinstall your os using recovery mode.
