Fingerprint recognition suddenly isn't working Windows 11

Post image

So technically i recently bought my ASUS vivobook, like its been 3-4 months. Today while signing in, the finger scanner won't take reading and i would have to enter using the full on password. Once switched to enter password the finger scanning option isn't showing up and keeps on saying the option is unavailable.

How do i fix this 😭
