Fingerprint unlock, greenify, latest android, they don't play well together

In the latest cm13, or other decent updated android versions, we can not use the "hibernate and lock" widget to lock the phone, and wake up the device without input the password. This is NOT a bug from greenify, as Google decided it to be the intended behavior according to http://stackoverflow.com/a/37550254

The stackoverflow thread also mentioned if an app has root privilege, it can bypass this restriction by using PowerManager.goToSleep(0) instead of lockNow(). Nova launcher already used this trick and it works on my phone. Maybe greenify should also consider doing this for root mode?
