You've missed the one obvious thing, LOL! Clean your actual finger. Make
sure it has no opened cuts, etc. I know that sounds really obvious, but
trust me. It can make a difference.

Subject: [Mac-access]: Problems with touchID on iPhone 5S
Hello,
I have an iPhone 5S which is about 6 months old and which is currently
running IOS 8.3.
TouchID worked well for the first 4 months or so, but alas is now
unreliable. If I register a new fingerprint it works fine for about 2 days
and then the finger print is no longer recognised.
Do any listers have tips on the best way to position fingers or thumbs
during the initial fingerprint registration or any other tips on how to
make touchID reliable. I have tried cleaning the home button with a dry
cloth and also tried registering the same finger several times as if they
were all different fingers. Would it help to clean the home button in some
other way?
Many thanks for any tips. TouchID is great while it works!
Do any other listers have problems with TouchID on iPhone 5S? Is TouchID
on iPhone 6 reliable?
Best regards….
Paul Hopewell
