If your fingerprint reader is supported, you can configure it in System
Settings > Users  and for your user it should be there (I'm currently
not on gnome desktop to tell you how exactly it is named, but easy to
find if supported/displayed), I have older T400 with fingerprint reader
which is supported, and it works fine.

Also if you want to find out more, tools/libs are fprintd / libfprint
(or similar), also check thinkwiki
