Bug Description
With fprintd, users can log in at the lightdm greeter using their fingerprint. This does not work when the user's home directory is encrypted, because the unwrap passphrase cannot be retrieved using the fingerprint. This should be fixed, or the greeter should not show the fingerprint option for users with encrypted homes.

How did you solve this issue? I thought there is no way to unwrap the encryption passphrase without the password?
