This is sad. Thanks for finding that initial bug trace. Tracing this back (it seems to go back further than just gnome 2 years ago), it's a known problem going back 9 years, and the meta-issue seems to be a combination of finger-pointing, and "Well THAT'S not a real security bug because....."
I'll see if I can spend some time to see if this is fixable using some kind of current patch, or at least who has to "do something". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1901132 Title: fprintd fingerprint login compromises password security.
