Press the settings button on the lower left of the menu 3. Select Users On the resulting "Users" dialog one can select Fingerprint Login: Disabled/Enabled In my case it is Disabled As far as when this occurs, at least: 1. at boot up login 2. after suspense login and not 1. not when a browser asks for a password when visiting a site 2. when issuing a command using sudo, like mounting an external share Once again, this did not occur on F23 and started as soon as I upgraded to F24 Its no big deal. We could do like windows 10 which just stops the fingerprint reader when a password is entered. Let me know if you think I should submit this upstream somewhere. It feels like it may be similar to the scrolling problems mentioned that seem be fixed after installing libinit and adjusting some configuration files in /etc. After doing that the Gnome "Mouse & Touchpad" settings dialog (same place as the "Users" mentioned above) took on a whole new meaningful life.
