I recently ran into an issue on my M1 MacBook Pro after updating to 14.6.1 Sonoma. When the screen locked due to a screensaver, or a reboot, and I attempt to unlock it via the fingerprint reader, it can take upwards of 10 to 20 seconds to go through. After researching this issue, it appears to be related to account policy data.
Seems that the longer the account policy data history, the slower the locking and unlocking process becomes. In my case, the list was large due to multiple policy updates. The command below was shared by my colleague and running it from a terminal as root solved the issue for me. Thanks Joe!
