I still see the issue with 20.04
After a reboot, I get the 'swipe finger to login' message.
I swipe, it tries to login and immediately logouts.
I then have to wait for the timeout to enter the password, I login and logout,
and the fingerprint now works without any issue.
Message on syslog is
This is should not be an issue anymore as fprintd saves the prints in
/var/lib/fprintd

Ok... I get your point. I understand your idea about the fingerprints.
Nevertheless, I think is fair to give the opportunity to the user to
choose either use or not to use the fingerprints to identify. The
