Here's what I see:

 * When I lock with Meta-L and then immediately unlock, I get the password
prompt, with the "or scan your fingerprint on the reader" below it, and
fingerprint unlocking works.

 * When I sleep and then immediately wake, I get exactly the same thing, but
fingerprint unlock doesn't work. (There's also an additional bug: although the
unlock screen appears fairly quickly, and the cursor appears and can be moved
around the screen, typed keys do not immediately appear in the password box,
and the system doesn't immediately unlock upon typing the password. After some
more time has elapsed, the typed keys all appear together / the system unlocks
if the password + enter have been previously typed.)

* Sometimes (when the system has been sleeping for a while?), in addition to
the "or scan your fingerprint on the reader" *below* the password box, I also
get the messages "Place your finger on the fingerprint reader" and
"Verification has timed out" *above* the box, and in this case as well
fingerprint unlock does not work.

I  have no idea how many separate bugs this is: KDE / SDDM unlocking is so full
of bugs that I'm on the verge of abandoning KDE entirely after trying it for a
few months, even though there's a lot I do like about it. In addition to the
problem(s) discussed above, I've encountered:
