You're right, thanks for fixing the title!
As a user my logic would go like this:
Did I just logged in to my system by authenticating myself? Yes.
So I'd expect gnome-keyring to be unlocked.
As a user it does not matter to me what method I used to log in.
Reframing the issue like this:
Is there a way to make sure gnome-keyring unlocks whatever pam-supported
authentication method I use? Be it fingerprint or anything else.

Please try to be precise in bug reports: if you say "remains unlocked"
when you meant "remains locked", that completely changes the meaning.

using fingerprint login does not unlock gnome-keyring
How could this work? The keyring is stored "encrypted at rest" with
your password as the decryption key (that's the point of
gnome-keyring). If you logged in without ever typing your password
(for example using a fingerprint), how would gnome-keyring be expected
to obtain the password and decrypt the keyring?
