These are the steps to enable the Fingerprint authentication resources on:
- Thinkpad X1 - Gen.7
- Elementary OS 6 - Odin
This fingerprint authentication process enables the authentication on:
- Login screen (identified by an icon on the right side of the password input)
- Terminal (identified by text)
- Root actions on desktop (NOT identified visually, but it works just by placing your finger on the reader)
sudo apt-get install fprintd libfprint-2-2 libfprint-2-tod1 libpam-fprintd
fprintd-enroll
To enroll additional fingers, run the following
fprintd-enroll -f [finger-id]
Finger IDs: 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-finger
sudo pam-auth-update
Select the Fingerprint modules as you need. By default I enabled the following:
- Fingerprint authentication
- Unix authentication
- Register user sessions in the systemd control group hierarchy
- GNOME Keyring Daemon - Login keyring management
- Inheritable Capabilities Management
