Fingerprints can easily be acquired, if that weren't the case they wouldn't be extensively used in crime scene investigation.

I think what op means is that if you find someone's password, you can type it into their device and you are in. Total breaking in time < 30s. If you find someone's fingerprint, you need to make a copy of it, scan it at high resolution, prepare a good printout and only then you can use it. Total breaking in time >1h.
