The Touch ID problem is related to Keychain.

I went through the following steps (from this Apple Community question) and it worked for me (I am also on Catalina):

  1. Open Finder.
  2. In the menu bar, click Go once so the dropdown menu appears.
  3. Hold down the Option key. You will see a Library folder appear in the list under the Go tab.
  4. Open library.
  5. Drag Keychains folder into the trash.

You will have to re-enter all keychain passwords, but the Touch ID will work.
