(Get the code!)
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.
