Not sure if this applies to Apple's implementation, but my phone fingerprint recognition fails if my finger is wet (sweat, washing hands).

I haven't tried training it with a wet fingerprint.

This definitely applies to Apple's implementation. It's infuriatingly sensitive to even damp fingers, in my experience.
