I experience the same problem on my xps9360 (without fingerprint reader) after a clean install of ubuntu 19.10. I never experienced this problem on 18.04 and the earlier ubuntu versions I ran on this laptop. The delay is ~ 15-20 seconds and there are error messages in the Journactl log:

There is also an intersting discussion on the fedora bugtracker about this problem which might be of interest. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824855 Title: Unlocking the screen takes a long time after "Starting Fingerprint Authentication Daemon..." Status in fprintd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in fprintd package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: When waking my laptop screen up at the lock screen, it takes a very long time to display the password prompt (definitely longer than 30s, possibly longer than 1m - I didn't time it). I notice that while waiting for the password prompt, the screen is showing a full list of (obfuscated) desktop notifications. After logging in, I used the gnome-shell interface to clear the notifications; then I locked my screen again, at which point hitting the space bar caused the password prompt to show up immediately. So it looks like the time to display the password prompt might scale linearly with the number of notifications; which is not useful, because there is a finite number of (obfuscated!) notifications that will be displayed on the lock screen, and AFAIK you can't interact with them through the lock screen at all. So we shouldn't be wasting time processing (and presumably rendering) notifications that will never be visible.
