register/enroll for fingerprint
I've seen register and enroll used for iphone's touchID fingerprint function. It could be different for other cases, though.

enroll
Enroll seems to be used when one adds a new fingerprint to a system, like a phone or a computer. Once enrolled, the fingerprint will be scanned.
Example sentence:
Enroll up to five fingerprints.
Please remove the need to have a PIN to enroll a fingerprint...
