Before nailing down your fingerprint problem to be a hardware or software defect, check your fingers. Just like any other biometric gadget, your phone fingerprint needs a clean finger to be able to unlock your device.
It's common for a fingerprint sensor to become less sensitive over time, and when the outer enamel of the sensor begins to chip away, this can hugely affect the sensitivity, to the point where it simply cannot recognize your fingerprint anymore. Water damage, cracks, and other factors can also cause this.
