TouchID does not lock MacBook Pro anymore on macOS Big Sur 11.2 [closed]

Is it just me or this feature was removed after updating to Big Sur 11.2?

Solution 1:

This is apparently a somewhat common issue after upgrading to Big Sur or even the 11.1 -> 11.2 upgrade.

You need to do a SMC and possibly a PRAM reset.

I was able to clear it by powering off the MacBook Pro, holding down the power button on the touch bar for >10 seconds, and then power back on.

Hope that works for you.
