If you have both -fingerprint and passwd in your class' auth option in login.conf(5), then you can login prefixing your username with the "passwd" auth type, and it will only ask for the password. eg.: $ ssh username:pas...@localhost

I see that as a feature not a bug ;), because no other (eg.: kdesktop_lock) desktop environment's screen saver can use the fingerprint auth mode. You could try to use other desktop env's screen saver, or install xscreensaver from packages which needs only a password, and it is not bloated and can lock your screen too.
