Bug Description
This page describes a feature not found in 18.04
https:/
Starting from point 3. "Press on Disabled, next to Fingerprint Login to add a fingerprint for the selected account. If you are adding the fingerprint for a different user, you will first need to Unlock the panel." The option "Fingerprint Login" isn't available in the GUI (not displayed at all).
The following steps to enroll fingers are therefore missing as well.
Installing the package "fprintd" solves the issue.
sudo apt install fprintd
I suggest to add this in the documentation link above.
