First, I'm not 100% sure whether this bug should be filled for fprintd or sudo, but sudo seems like the safest bet.
I don't think so.
To reproduce: install fprintd/libpam-fprintd, enroll a fingerprint, run a command with sudo.
I am not going to do that.
If using sudo with fingerprint authentication, with the fprintd/libpam-fprintd, whenever an user calls a command, for example: $ sudo ls The output becomes: """ Place your finger on the fingerprint reader """ And at that point, anything typed by the user becomes visible in the terminal.
I do not see what sudo can do here, and I certainly will not patch Debian's sudo in that regard. Would you be willing to file an Upstream bug?
