The one on my ThinkPad started working when I upgraded to KDE 6 / Wayland. I was pretty happy about that.

Oooh I gotta try that

For me it only works for signing in after sleep, but not for anything else (T490). Does your Thinkpad work better/in more ways?

Same, I can't use it in the terminal or anything like that, but it didn't work at all before.

Oh nice, I have a Carbon X1. I knew that fprintd has worked for a while, and has allowed me to enroll fingerprints, but has never successfully worked for authentication.

That was my issue too, also on an X1C (gen 9)
