Why doesn't my fingerprint sensor work after Android 6.0.1 update on my HTC A9?

[AC Question]

fingerprint sensor does not work after android 6.0.1 update in htc a9

Settings>fingerprint scanner - keeps asking for confirmation of PIN. This problem has started only after the Android 6.0.1 update in my htc a9 phone (unlocked phone on att network) today. Any clue on how to fix it?

I have exactly the same issue

I get a message saying something about you must enter your pin if it's been more than 72 hours since the last time you entered it.

I found that my scanner wasn't working as well as I had become accustomed to. I deleted my stored finger prints and started over. It's working great again.

Could you please tell me if you I have found a way to circumvent that issue as I am facing the same problem having just updating my HTC one A9 to the 6.0.1
Please help

I have the exact same problem! Sadly I'm not quite sure how to fix it because the guy on customer service wasn't very helpful, but you're not alone! Maybe in the next update they'll fix it? Good luck and be sure to let me know if you figure it out!
