My problem is that since the latest IOS update, my IPhone 8 often doesn't recognize my fingerprint and makes me enter my password, which is incredibly annoying! It used to be really reliable with the two fingerprints I set up, but now, I never know when it's going to work and when it isn't. A couple of days ago I deleted my fingerprints and re-entered them, but that hasn't helped much. Disappointing for sure.
