Xperia 5 Fingerprint Manager missing from settings

Hi

 

Recently I've encountered problems with my fingerprint manager. Since the update it has completely gone from my settings menu on my Xperia 5. I spoke to someone from the team and they suggested backing up my phone and software repairing my phone. This didn't help one bit. And also erased everything without it backing up. Has anyone else experienced this with the fingerprint manager?

If the software repair didn't fix it there should be a patch update that fixes any bugs caused by the earlier Android update, guess you can check in with support again.

It's strage, but I solve the problem. I have gone to settings, support. And there I press Reboot. After this reboot fingerprint sensor started work again.

I've got this problem also. It started with my reader not working at all, and ended with fingerprint options completely disappearing. Also my reboot didn't fix the problem.

 when I do it through support this is what it says, it doesn't register any part of my fingerprints. Yes it's clean and so are my hands.
