[feature request] [2.2.0] Use fingerprint as 2FA

With 2.2.0 adding support for the fingerprint reader on the Xperia X, it would be great to be able to use it as second factor for unlocking the device. Having the possibility to use both the PIN ("something you know") and the fingerprint ("something you have") greatly improves the security of the device.

So, please add an option to combine the unlock code and the fingerprint.

To provide the possibility to unlock the device in an emergency (e.g. fingerprint is not recognized), there could be the option to set a strong password to circumvent the PIN/fingerprint authentication.
