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…..
