When using 1password, a system auth window appears to unlock 1Password. This window accepts the phone pin and unlocks. I expect the fingerprint reader to be used in lieu of the pin, but cannot find an obvious setting for this.

Please consider using fingerprint to unlock system auth.

I was more interested in allowing it for sudo, but similar idea.

You can use system auth for sudo as well. So if system auth supports fingerprint reader, then fingerprint reader can support sudo

allowing it in sudo is fairly easy, i have done it before, its just a pam configuration. but this dialog comes from the GNOME stack which does not support multiple authentication methods, pam as a whole doesn't. it will be one and then the other and it can deadlock.
