            Bug ID: 494168
           Summary: When elevating privileges, takes long time for
                    password to be accepted if fingerprint is enrolled.
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

Stays on this screen for 20-30 seconds after inputting password

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enroll fingerprint
2. Run graphical application that requires elevated privileges (e.g. KDE
Partition Manager)
3. Authenticate using password instead of fingerprint

OBSERVED RESULT
There is a ~20-30 second delay while waiting for a fingerprint. The fingerprint
prompt then changes to say "Verification timed out" at which point the password
is accepted. This delay occurs whether I close the hint telling me to use
fingerprint authentication or leave it visible.

EXPECTED RESULT
The GUI should try the provided password immediately and bypass the fingerprint
reader timeout.
