@sesivany I think you presented #fingerprint reader support in Fedora few years ago. How difficult would it be to have alternative PIN combination with fingerprint? I would like successful f.p. scan to change password box to pin input. But pin could be something 4-6 letters. Instead of letting me in right away, require me to type a lot shorter password. Sort of PIN windows has for local logins too. How difficult might it be? Are there known blockers? #PAM modules architecture maybe?

in reply to Petr Menšík • • •never tried it, but I think it could be doable in pam.d config. If you put there something like:
auth required pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass
auth required pam_fprintd.so
But it's something you'd have to investigate. As I said I never tried it myself. I use password for the first login and then fingerprints for unlocking the lockscreen.
