On a 7.2 desktop system I see irregular attempts to start the fingerprint authentication daemon "fprintd".
One of the messages is "D-Bus service launched with name: net.reactivated.Fprint"
This fails as there is no fingerprint device. fprintd.service is disabled.
Without a fingerprint device, is this software needed. Yum removal (aborted) shows no packages dependent on fprintd.

I have removed it on all of my systems and never noticed any issues.
Thank you, that is what I suspected.

I tried stopping it via systemctl and found I could no longer log in to the system desktop (gnome3) - YMMV
