How to Diagnose Touch ID data gets erased after a long shutdown After an OCLP macOS Upgrade
Power, battery, Touch ID and trackpad behaviour after OCLP upgrades is usually firmware, SMC or root-patch related.
Step-by-Step Fix:
- Back up first: Make a Time Machine backup or clone before changing OpenCore, EFI, root patches, or macOS versions.
- Reset low-level state: Reset NVRAM/PRAM, then perform the correct SMC reset for the Mac model.
- Re-apply patches: Open OpenCore Legacy Patcher, run Post-Install Root Patch, reboot, then test again.
- Check hardware health: Review cycle count, battery service status, trackpad settings and Apple Diagnostics before blaming macOS.
- Compare with a supported OS: If the issue is critical, test Monterey or the last officially supported macOS to rule out failing hardware.
Final check: Change one thing at a time, reboot, and keep a copy of the last working EFI before the next test.
Original Question: "Touch ID data gets erased after a long shutdown."
Hey. Im facing a specific issue and was wondering if anybody has a solution for this. I just recently updated my MBP 2017 15’ to macOS 14.8.7 and when i start it after a good few hours my registered fingerprint is gone and i have to register it again and it works fine again before the same thing happens.

⚠️ WARNING:
Installing macOS Tahoe on unsupported hardware is NOT supported by the OpenCore Legacy Patcher developers. Please be aware that numerous users have attempted installation, often resulting in serious issues including hardware malfunctions and complete data loss.
Also understand that OCLP supports over 83 Mac models! Just because it "worked" on one, does not mean it will not cause major issues on your device.
NOTE: You might have seen a new piece of software called OCLP-Mod. The OCLP developers do NOT recommend using any modification of the genuine OCLP software. Keep in mind, anyone is able to make a fork of OCLP (a fork is a modification of the original project). No other software is checked and verified safe or actually working on all 83 Mac models.
In closing, please only use the genuine version of OCLP. Do not install Tahoe until a fully compatible public version of OCLP is released. Thanks!
