It is a counterpart for the upstream issue https://github.com/latchset/clevis/issues/245

Some computers (e.g. Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga) have a built in fingerprint sensor. This would be a good candidate for a clevis pin. Having a clevis-fingerprint pin will allow to have a full-disk-encryption with fingerprint unlock functionality. That is a convenient and secure way to protect the user data.

I haven't really looked at fingerprint API but I found a few projects that actively use this functionality. It is something that can give pointers on utilizing fingerprint sensor in celvis.
