User level: Level 1 (54 points)MacOS 27.0.1 problem with Touch ID
M4 Mac Mini with Magic Keyboard
After upgrading to MacOS 27.0.1, the Touch ID on my keyboard no longer works and System Settings on the Mac for Touch ID are locked (greyed out) and have stopped showing Touch ID. Cannot add or change Touch settings, add fingerprint, nor delete fingerprint.
Worked fine before the OS update.

Have you tried it using the USB cable as well ?

For the OP or other individuals, did anyone identify a fix? I am having this issue with one of two Magic Keyboards I own. I can replicate it on multiple Mac mini's which makes me think it's an issue with the keyboard itself.
Any fixes from anyone?

Yes. Still no joy. Also restarted Mac several times, turned keyboard off/on, and tried on admin account.

Well, I’ve now expended my total list of possible troubleshooting solutions for a Magic Keyboard.
Sorry. 😔
