[Thinkpad] Fingerprint swipe still prompts for Windows password

[Rosen, Robert (NIH/NIAMS) [E]]

Make sure you haven't used the same finger for more than one account
(e.g., local and domain).  That messes things up.

If your local account is the same username as the domain account you
will also have weird problems.

The fact that it is still asking for the password after the green check
mark is strange.  I've only seen it do that if I use my fingerprint but
don't click ok on the login-warning screen quick enough.  It's like the
goodness of the fingerprint times out and the system wants you to log in
again with the password.
