Works for me in a VM. Open the logs (dmesg and xsession-error come to mind) and look for errors.
Also works fine on my main gentoo machine.
@flexiondotorg fyi

@sunweaver Perhaps the patch discussed here is relevant?
@infirit, All working correctly on Arch Linux with MATE 1.10 built against GTK3.

@cigtoxdoc I can confirm this issue in Ubuntu MATE 15.10. My work around is to use Switch User in the lock screen and then authenticate as the same user because this doesn't destroy the session ☺

Also tagging @monsta so he is aware for future Mint releases.

@flexiondotorg I can confirm your work-around
from mate-screensaver.
Please check your logs if the fprintd daemon is running, more infos here

This is one possible cause of the issue.

@flexiondotorg: unlocking works fine for me in current Ubuntu 15.10, so if @raveit65 confirms the same in Fedora, I think this can be closed.

This is indeed fixed for sometime.

I'm not shure about, see rhbz report.
M-s has a code that if ie. fprind daemon is active the lock-screen change to sensitive.
I could reproduce that for some reason the fprintd daemon systemd unit was started by another service or app, which is wrong on a hardware w/o fingerprint hardware.
But reporter said that fprintd isn't installed on his system.
Resposible for this behaviour is this g-s commit which is also in in m-s.
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/commit/?id=ce391d2167ab1f5a11ca457630cc3221ab1abc53
So, i guess that sometimes another service trigger this code line and you can't type a password.
So, i'm not really thinking this is fixed.

Ubuntu 15.10 with no fprintd; unlocking works properly.
from mate-screensaver.
Yes, I don't remember fprintd being installed in Ubuntu by default... so maybe it's a separate bug?
from mate-screensaver.
If you think that running fprintd on hardware w/o hardware for it, cause m-s lockscreen to sensitive is a seperate bug, what is the cause of this bug ;)
For me the problem are those code lines
https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-screensaver/blob/master/src/gs-lock-plug.c#L1589
https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-screensaver/blob/master/src/gs-lock-plug.c#L1613

Just installed fprintd
in Ubuntu 15.10 VM and started it with -t
option ("Do not exit after unused for a while").
No problems with unlocking.
