[Bug 1787974] [NEW] Fingerprint authentication not available in 18.04

 

Public bug reported:

This page describes a feature not found in 18.04

https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/session-fingerprint.html.en

Starting from point 3. "Press on Disabled, next to Fingerprint Login to
add a fingerprint for the selected account. If you are adding the
fingerprint for a different user, you will first need to Unlock the
panel." The option "Fingerprint Login" isn't available in the GUI (not
displayed at all).

The following steps to enroll fingers are therefore missing as well.
