i3lock, the go-to locker for i3wm, does not support unlocking with fingerprint scanners. Until now, that is :) 
To unlock your linux computer by simply scanning your fingerprint, install fprintd and then use this script instead of i3lock to lock your session:
<pre><code>i3lock &amp;
(while pidof i3lock; do
 if (fprintd-verify | grep verify-match); then 
 killall i3lock
 fi
done) &amp;
</code></pre>
