Hi David,

Tried your suggestions. I eventually reentered my prints. Here’s what seems to 
be happening after that.

If the phone is turned off and restarted, you are asked for the passcode. Fine 
with that.

I found that if I worked on the phone for a while—and not testing the print by 
immediately locking the screen; the next time I unlocked the phone it took my 
print. Will continue to monitor this and let you know if I learn something from 
trial and error. Again thanks for the help.

Now on to the Seri issue with names…..
