I’m on iOS 11 GM. Anybody else having this problem where every time the fingerprint sensor fails to recognize your fingerprint, you are asked to enter your password? It used to be that if it failed to read my fingerprint, I just lifted up my finger and put it back down, and it would work on the second or the third try. Now a single failure, and I have to input my password. It’s super annoying. I think requiring password after maybe 10 failed attempts is good security practive, but requiring it after just one failure is way too much. Is this a bug, or is this how Apple intended it to work?
