I just set up Touch ID on my new Mac Mini M2 w/ Ventura. Ventura shows you a picture of your Mac Mini power button and says to quick press it twice. I tried lots of different quick press spacings - the one that finally worked was a very quick, incredibly quick, double press. They have to be full presses that would turn off your Mac Mini if you held them for more than an instant. Light taps, like on a trackpad, will not work. When it works you get a box asking you to confirm your password. Then you can proceed to enter your finger print.

Yes, I meant the Touch ID feature. That’s why I bought it.

Would someone who has the Touch ID keyboard knows if it can turn on the computer from off, or still has to rely on the on/off button on the machine? As I'm thinking about buying it for my MacBook Pro setup.

No, the Touch ID cannot turn the Mac on from off, so you would still have to rely on the ON button on the machine.

Thank you.
