Visit Supported devices in libfrint. If your device is not supported, you can open an issue in their gitlab page to know if it can be supported and whether it is being worked on (check the current list of issues).

The 04f3:0903 Elan Microelectronics Corp. is supported.

Your fingerprint scanner is supported by libfprint.

Most likely it should work without any effort on Ubuntu 20.04.

There is no "Ubuntu 18" release.

  • There is no Ubuntu 18 or 20, it is not like Windows. Regarding login it is another issue.
