Oh of course!Hello,Can you please report the hardware involved and the software used to handle it ?UPDATE: I managed to set-up the fingerprint reader but I would like for it to work differently during sudo prompt in the terminal. I would like to type Ctrl+C in order to choose input password with keyboard but whenever I press Ctrl+C it just cancels the entire thing
I followed a guide by "jodarove" so all credit goes to him.
Basically, I used fprintd. Supported devices are listed here https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices.html
Check your device id. Run
Code:
lsusbLet's proceed to the installation:
1- Search for the package fprint
Code:
apt search fprintCode:
sudo apt install fprintdCode:
sudo apt install libpam-fprintdCode:
sudo pam-auth-update5- Add or enroll your fingers print
Code:
fprintd-enroll -f [finger]Code:
fprintd-enroll -f right-index-fingerCode:
left-thumb left-index-finger left-middle-finger left-ring-finger left-little-finger right-thumb right-index-finger right-middle-finger right-ring-finger right-little-fingerCode:
fprintd-verifyAlso, I greatly recommend upping the number of tries on the fingerprint from 1 to 2 or 3, because usually the sensor won't be able to read you fingerprint on the first try. you can do that by editing the /etc/pam.d/common-auth file and changing the max-tries part.
