How to register fingerprint for a BIOS access

In Lenovo laptop there is possibility to access BIOS with fingerprint reader.
There is no option to register fingerprint in BIOS, but there is an option:
Reset Fingerprint Data with description:

...futures previously enabled will not be able to work until they are re-enabled in the fingerprint software.

I assume that there is some kind of software for this, but... I've wiped the drive with Windows without even running it.
On wiki I was able to find information about sddm configuration (I use KDE Plasma) but I wasn't able to find anything about bios - fingerprint configuration.

Re: How to register fingerprint for a BIOS access

the fingerprint enrolled in kde is saved on the reader and will be used from the bios to authenticate as well. you can also just enroll your fingerprint with fprintd-enroll...

wiki says:

To verify the newly created fingerprint, use:

$ fprintd-verify

And it works for me.
The led ond th elaptop changes its colour, and I can test one of registered fingerprint.
But I still can't log in to bios with fingerprint.
