On my elementaryOS juno, I'd installed fingerprint-gui and fprint-demo to set fingerprint unlock to my laptop, but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work, so I removed both fprint-demo and fingerprint-gui but something got messed with my sudo password. Login menu is accepting correct password but sudo is accepting everything instead of correct password.
