Anyone who owns a fingerprint sensor in a notebook or as a separate device will soon be able to use it with Plasma 5.24 to easily, quickly and securely log into a plasma session.
Has been in the works for a long time
The function has been in the works for a long time and , as Nate Graham currently reports in his blog , the code has just been made available for Plasma 5.24. The fprint project is used in the background . Other components involved are the SDDM session manager, the Polkit KDE agent and the Kscreenlocker.
KCM module
The software for registering the fingers is integrated into the system settings as a KConfig Module (kcm). Any number of fingers can be registered there, but their naming needs to be improved. So far, only generic identifiers such as the right middle finger or left index finger have been specified, which makes it difficult for multiple users to use it.
Once the registration is done, the user can not only dial into a plasma session using the fingerprint sensor, but also activate apps that require a password. In addition, the input of the password can be replaced by the fingerprint in the console for actions that use sudo for authentication.
And something else
Further innovations for Plasma 5.24 can be found in Nate's blog. These include improved options for enabling, disabling, or removing Flatpak repos in Plasma Discover. Furthermore, the obligatory progress in the integration of Wayland as well as the initial provision of the backend for Generic Buffer Management (GDM) in the Nvidia driver should be mentioned. According to Nate, this is accompanied by many improvements in the use of plasma with the proprietary Nvidia driver. The release of Plasma 5.24 is scheduled for February 8, 2022.

KDE Plasma is a really dynamic desktop environment, and the new features added are useful and simply enjoyable. Therefore, it is strange that so far there has been no support for fingerprint readers, which have been present in laptops for a very long time. However, with KDE Plasma 5.24 this will change.
KDE Plasma will handle the fingerprint reader. Its use will be wider than logging into the account
Fingerprint readers are an element that has long been found in, for example, laptops. GNOME has been supporting them for a long time, which allows us to log into the system faster and securely, as well as verify our user. Oddly, KDE Plasma will only get this option now, but better late than never.
KDE Plasma 5.24 will finally allow you to comfortably use the fingerprint reader. The appropriate option can be found in the user profile settings. The fingerprint reader will help us not only log in to our account faster, but also speed up entering the password when a program asks us for it. Ba! The fingerprint reader will also work in the terminal when we enter the command sudo.
KDE Plasma 5.24 is expected to be released on February 8, 2022. Users of KDE neon and Manjaro Linux KDE Edition will probably benefit from this version immediately. In the case of Kubuntu, you will have to wait for the next system release.
