Bug Description

The panel Security & Privacy should allow for setup of fingerprint authentication for use on the lock screen. The story looks like this:
* A “Fingerprint” item will be added under “Security & Privacy”
* The corresponding “Fingerprint” panel will let you add a passcode if necessary, register a fingerprint, or forget previously recorded fingerprints.
* An “Add Fingerprint” dialog will record fingerprints with buttons “Cancel” and “Done” if recorded successfully.

This is currently blocked due to the fingerprint API being non-existent.

@mpt, it's currently hard/impossible to obtain the number of enrolled fingerprints. Also, Thomas points out that multiple enrolled fingerprints per user does not necessarily make sense in a multi-user environment like Ubuntu is.

Additionally, the enrollment screen should perhaps allow for more nuanced error messages than “Sorry, the reader doesn’t seem to be working.”. The reader could be malfunctioning, but the enrollment would also fail if the image was bad, e.g.

I don’t see why System Settings needs to “obtain the number of enrolled fingerprints”. System Settings is the only access point through which you can register a fingerprint, so it can keep count itself. Even later, once the first-run setup lets you register fingerprints too, it could place an initial count somewhere that System Settings can read.

Can you explain how multiple fingerprints vs. multiple users are related? The purpose of registering multiple fingerprints is so that you can, for example, register one on each hand, to avoid having to juggle a baby, briefcase, shopping bag, or whatever you’re carrying with your other hand.

For the error messages, could you provide a complete list of possible error messages/codes returned by the reader?

​So the Wizard will not ever provide fingerprint ID setup?​

​Both of these will hopefully be addressed by Thomas.​

The question “​So the Wizard will not ever provide fingerprint ID setup?​” is based on an assumption that the two can't talk among themselves, which is false, so I'm going to retract this question.

From the spec:
> “Fingerprint” should be disabled unless you currently have at least one fingerprint registered.

This is one reason why we need the count: To communicate to the user, in the “Lock security” screen, that Fingerprint ID is only possible if correctly set up (i.e. some fingerprint has been enrolled). It's easy to know this if we have a count, which we will put in AccountsService so it is accessible by both the Wizard and System Settings.
