I had a very similar problem:
whenever I clicked on a user at a login screen I had to type my password really
quick in order for it not to be reset. Then sometimes login process stuck and I
had to go into a text-based login prompt (ctrl+alt+f2) and then back to UI
(ctrl+alt+f1) and this worked. Staying on the UI prompt didn't work.
After reading this thread I removed:
sudo apt purge --auto-remove fprintd libfprint-2-2
and I saw that option for fingerprint login disappeared from the user's
settings menu.
I restarted my notebook and login screen worked without any issues.
I'm having HP EliteBook G8 and official Ubuntu notes at
https://ubuntu.com/certified/202103-28761
say:
"Fingerprint reader and WWAN hardware are not supported on this device"
However, I experimented with it trying to check it after fresh
installation.
I hope these workarounds can help people struggling with the login as I did.
Also, if somebody wants any reports from me, I can try to install fprint
libraries and reproduce it. Just let me know.

anything
