We've been looking this a bit with security team, the outcome is:
1. Gnome-keyring needs a password to unlock and it matches the login one by
default,
so it only unlocks in such case
2. It's not too bad from a security POV to actually require a proper password
to unlock
all the secrets
3. User may still want it, but this needs work.

Title:
keyring cannot be unlocked if used fingerprint to login gnome session
Status in GNOME Keyring:
Unknown
Status in gnome-keyring package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 and setup the fingerprint login.
Today when I tried to launch remmina it didn't show up for a long time.
I launch Gnome Password and Keys > Passwords > Login I see there's a
button to click to unlock. Clicking the unlock button is still waiting
forever.
A moment later I logout current session and type in the user password
to login. Then I could launch remmina and unlock the Gnome Password
and Keys.
