Bug Description
Steps:
- Enroll fingerprints
- Run `pam-auth-update`
- Enable "Fingerprint authentication"
- Restart
Outcome:
Fingerprint authentication will work correctly but the textbox to enter a password manually will be disabled. If fingerprint verification fails, then you can type into it.
Expected:
Should be able to enter your password manually OR use the fingerprint.
Ideal scenario:
Some things require that you enter your password at least once on startup (e.g.: unlocking the keyring).
The best UX (in my opinion) would be to disallow the fingerprint option and require a password on first login. Each subsequent login should then default to fingerprint (or other option as configured), hide the password entry and then only show the password entry if verification fails.
