Its working as designed - following quote is from http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5949
To configure Touch ID, you must first set up a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode; but your passcode will be needed for additional security validation:
I charge it overnight, every night. Both my iPhone and iPad with touch ID. It only happens occasionally on both devices. I haven't found any pattern to it.
This does match my observations. All occasions happened at first time unlock attempt in the morning and only since iOS 9.

You should try reading the thread before commenting on it...
My mistake. I wasn't aware that this thread was all about you.
Oh, wait a minute...
Tried that. Glad it worked for you but didn't for me.

and yet you posted to/about me rather than reading the thread and commenting on the issue...
Why are U responding - if you really aren't here to help, stop responding.
Who made you the Thread Police? Anyone is free to post within the Terms of Use of Apple Support Communities.
Can someone at Apple please tell me how entering a string of numbers is more secure than a finger/thumb print? Who else can enter MY thumbprint? This is annoying!
As Apple doesn't read this user-to-user forum, no one at Apple can tell you anything here.

So clearly a bug in iOS 9 ?
Yes it appears to be a bug in iOS 9.
it hasn't happened to me for a week now. On any of my 3 devices on iOS 9.1
what's the solution to this 48 hour problem. It happened to me again this morning. No reason.

Is anyone else finding the on screen keyboard doesn't work when it locks?
No, I've not seen that problem, or even other reports of it.
if I get a spare hour I might call AppleCare I hope the cure isn't RESET!! Again!
