Hello,

I was wondering if there is any way for me to create a private key using only my fingerprint and a password. Do you guys know if there is already a website to do so ?

Thanks.

It's not really an useful way to do this. Any website that offers this could scam you (anyone that knows your priv key can steal from you). A vanity gen based on fingerprint and password would have to run on a computer. And then you'll have to rely on a 3rd party app (prolly on your phone / tablet) that will read the fingerprint, then transfer that data on the computer where another program will take that data to generate the "private key". Who would use that?!
