After a couple of failed finger print trys, mine tells me to enter the code instead.

Fingerprint sensor needs to be clean and your finger/thumb dry. It allows a fair bit of leeway because if you think when you set it up you’d to put your finger on it several times until it built up a wide print. Any issue with mine I wipe the sensor or my thumb then it works perfectly again. Never heard of one failing yet. By the way I set mine to the seven digit lock which makes the phone nigh on impenetrable
