I am using a 2016 MacBook Pro 15" (Model A1707). Whenever I put my computer on sleep, then wake it up, I find that I cannot use Touch ID to unlock my computer. The screenshot below shows the screen when I wake up the computer. How can I enable Touch ID after my computer is asleep? Thanks!

    That does not seem to be the case. I am on 10.12.4 and the touchId is still disabled after sleep mode.

I messed with the sleep/screen saver settings and restarted and it seemed to have fixed my issue.
