A little research reveals that this _was_ actually fixed in 2011, but a config option needs to be added to enable it.
I've tested the config change, and it works perfectly on 20.04.1 LTS This is as simple as setting: <allow_active>auth_self_keep</allow_active> inside the <allow_active>auth_self_keep</allow_active> section. (or see patch) Can this be applied as a bugfix? ** Attachment added: "patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fprintd/+bug/1901132/+attachment/5432059/+files/patch -- 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.
