Recently I've discovered I can't open my phone sometimes with my finger print, I have to use other unlocking methods (pattern). 
I get the message "draw your pattern as required by the security policy instead of using your fingerprints"

I have started to get this message very recently and I am not using any third-party app for unlocking my device (nova launcher and others).
How to get rid of this? 

Thanks in advance.

some times you need to delete your old finger print and register a new one. try that

Hi Phantom,
I've tried that too. I guess it was all good for a few days then I've started to get this all over again.

hi aj7pro

unfortunately if that did not work then backup your data and factory reset. and if the problem continues then you most likely to have a hardware problem.

Hi guys,
It seems the problem recovered itself after my android version updated to 8 from the previous 7.
Thanks a lot everyone for your valuable inputs.
Cheers!
