Hi this is not possible, or at least not in an easy way fingerprints are checked for similarity, not equality, so you would need some kind of algorithm to make the same key for similar fingerprints - which is not possible, if you have two different fingerprint there could be one that is similar to both (is half-way between them), thus you would have the same keys for different fingerprints
