Just checked out the Gnome 2.26 release notes and there is a feature announced for gnome-about-me to be able to set your fingerprint reader up with. However it seems this is missing in Ubuntu build and fprintd is not available.
GNOME 2.26 now integrates with the fprintd fingerprint service to allow users to enroll fingerprints for use in authentication.
If a system is configurated for allowing fingerprint authentication, users can enroll their fingerprints via Desktop ▸ Preferences ▸ About Me from the panel menu.
