Do you have a corporate MS Exchange email account? If so, your administrator installed a security profile on the phone requiring immediate lock.

If not go to Settings/General/Restrictions and enable Change Account settings.

Go to Settings//General and scroll to the bottom. Is there an entry for Profile? If there is a profile that appears to be related to your company email, the requirement was set by your Exchange administrator.

If not, have you tried tapping on the word "immediately"?

Thanks for the info. Although developers please note.

This is annoying.

I want the option to not have to fingerprint every time i open the phone in a short period of time.

Users want to be able to delay the pass code. The fingerprint is not the most reliable for all, in my case I have dry hands and callus.

Thank you for working this out; I've been having the same problem and agree that it's really annoying not to be allowed the same leeway to delay the passcode just because I'm using fingerprint recognition.

This is very disappointing and annoying to only have the "immediately" option available when using fingerprint. It's irked me enough to shut off touch ID. What a crying shame! Please allow for a few more options (say 1 min, 5, etc). Otherwise I'm CONSTANTLY having to unlock my phone. As nice as it is to use a finger, I've been doing it hundreds of times a day. Unnecessary and bad software design. Please consider fixing/tweaking this. Thank you so much!!!

I wish Tim cook would open his eyes just a little more, don't get me wrong ios 7 is amazingly loaded with options we wanted ,(except where's my quick reply for messages) compared to the original iPhone os. But when you come across decisions like this, it makes you wonder why? If the finger print worked better I guess it wouldn't be to bad. But I wish Tim cook would get with saurk and allow those of us that want more open options to let us have it. Cause then we could have someone tweak it to allow 1min,5 etc....

I haven't been able to get a 5S yet, but the "immediate" won't bother me because I've always had my phone set to "immediate". Crime statistics (at least in NYC) show that most iPhone thefts are right from the hands of the user. So the phone is actually unlocked when stolen, unless you are quick enough to hit the SLEEP button AND locking is set to Immediate. Otherwise the thief gets your phone AND your identity instead of just your phone.

I agree with Lawrence. I have my 5s set to use fingerprint ID and I don't mind the code being set to immediate as the fingrerprint unlocks immediately. I did have to delete and redo a couple of fingerprints before it worked as advertised.

The "immediate" requirement when using the fingerprint for passcode is extremely cumbersome. During a phone call the phone locks and requires a fingerprint. Even to end up a call or add a call can require a fingerprint scan. I'll be disabling this feature until there is a fix.

I have been using this feature since day one and my phone has never locked in the middle of a conversation. I have never had to unlock the phone to end a call. There are three other new iPhones in our family and none of us has ever had the phone lock in the middle of a phone call. We will keep this feature enabled because it works great.

I agree with everyone else here. Very poor design to require the passcode as soon as I hit the lock button when I have Fingerprint turned on. I always hit the lock button before setting my phone down or putting it in my pocket so I don't burn battery or perform unwanted phone actions, and I almost always pick it right back up within 10 seconds to do something else.

Please rethink, Apple! The fingerprint tech is still imperfect (I often have to scan several times), so typing my passcode and/or scanning my thumb every time I do this has made my 5s slower than my previous iPhone.
