Biometrics: Fingerprint

Introduction

Enabling fingerprint login is quite simple on Fedora, hence all necessary software is installed and all configurations are pre-configured.

Configuration

To add a signature for a finger, run:

fprintd-enroll

To verify the newly created fingerprint, use:

fprintd-verify

By default every user is allowed to enroll new fingerprints without prompting for the password or the fingerprint.
