I've got the same problem with Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS on ThinkPad x260 (default installation with Unity and Lightdm)
Had to switch to an alternative implementation "fingerprint-gui" from https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/ubuntu/fingerprint-gui The experience is much better. Specifically, pressing Escape on the Lock screen re-starts the fingerprint authentication. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310104 Title: No way to trigger fingerprint authentication on lock screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1310104/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
