The problem you're going to have is getting your javascript code to access your fingerprint reader. Ideally you need to use one that has a web plug in that allows it to be accessed via js. You probably then have a ton of other security problems to think about which is why no-one does this.

No experience with this. The issues I see are going to be client side; young technology with few code repositories and few people with the hardware
