Bug Description
I have a laptop with a fingerprint reader that works fine. When the screensaver comes on, I can unlock one of two ways:
1) enter my password,
2) press a key and then press the fingerprint reader
With 2) I'm required to press a key before the fingerprint reader starts listening. Instead, it should listen all the time so that I can just open the laptop to wake it from suspend, or if not suspended I can just press the fingerprint reader and have it unlock immediately. This way it'll behave more similar to how a phone's fingerprint reader does and save a (minor) unnecessary interaction.
