This problem continues to be embarrassing under 14.04 My evidence for it being a fprintd bug is that the one thing I can do while it is "hung" being timed out is to switch to another user (top right menu). If I do that, the login skips fingerprint access (but password login works okay) until the same amount of time as if I'd waited to log in as myself. That is, if I give it enough time, the fingerprint reader seems to be available for another user, as well, but before that timeout, the rest of the lightdm seems to be working.

Half the time when my laptop recovers from suspend, I am able to enter a password (or, after pressing Enter, a finger print instead). But half the time when it recovers from suspend, the lightdm (?) login screen instead says that authentication has timed out. For some reason I then have to wait a good 25 seconds before I get another chance. At that point, I am able to enter a password or fingerprint as normal. This "time out" should not be triggered during/after a suspend. Also, if there is a time out for some reason, it should just wait the normal 2 seconds required after entering an incorrect password.
