[Fingerforce-devel] Bug#731382: libpam-fprintd: do not show password if user enters one

I'm slightly confused by this report. Please note that I'm not the maintainer 
though. Given that you use libpam-fprintd, why would you enter a password in 
the first place if you authenticate using your fingerprint?
Or are you talking about the scenario in which fprint is used and a user 
accidently enters a password when there is no password prompt?
