-->
+
+ <p>Users whose computers have a finterprint reader can use their fingerprints
+ instead of a password to log in. Fingerprint login
+ <link href="help:gnome-help#session-fingerprint">needs to be set up by the
+ user</link> before it can be used.</p>
+
+ <p>Fingerprint readers are not always reliable, so you may wish to disable
+ login using the reader for security reasons.</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <title>Disable login using a fingerprint reader:</title>
+ <item>
+ <p>Create a <sys>local</sys> database for machine-wide settings in
+ <file>/etc/dconf/db/local.d/01-fingerprintreader</file>:
+ </p>
+<code># Specify the dconf path
+[org/gnome/login-screen]
+
+# Disable fingerprint reader
+enable-fingerprint-authentication="false"</code>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Override the user's setting and prevent the user from changing it in
+ <file>/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/fingerprintreader</file>:</p>
+ <code># List the keys used to configure login
+/org/gnome/login-screen/enable-fingerprint-authentication</code>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Update the system databases:</p>
+<screen><output>$ </output><input>dconf update</input></screen>
