his fingerprints, or remove some fingerprints from the database

or remove fingerprints for a particular user
- Laptop/desktop authentication:
* Check for fingerprint devices
* Check whether a particular user has any fingerprints enrolled
* Verify a fingerprint for a particular user, or, if the device
supports it, verify that the fingerprint matches against
any of the fingerprints enrolled
