WORKAROUND:
For me,

sudo dnf remove fprintd

followed by a reboot resolves this-- as long as you don't actually need fingerprint login. (I certainly don't; this desktop doesn't even have the hardware for it, and never did.)

However, again, I suspect the actual culprit is a configuration problem, or bad multi-package interaction, involving a lower-level authentication system.

Nonetheless, this is worth a try, if you need a fix right now (which, for a bug like this, you probably do) and don't absolutely require fingerprint login. If you do, try reinstalling fprintd AFTER uninstalling and rebooting, and let us all know if it starts working again.
