In the Netherlands we had a passport with fingerprint, and all data stored by the state. Luckily, this was reversed, and now the fingerprint is only stored in the passport itself. Well, that's what I hope, as the fingerprint needs to be stored temporarily for the time to create the passport.

Better, if you don't leave the EU, you can use an identity card that doesn't have the fingerprint.

I was lucky enough to have an old passport that just spanned the period in which the fingerprint was stored centrally. Now I have an ID card, but one time in the future I will leave the EU, and then I have to get a password...
