ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Philippe ROUBACH 2022-08-28 12:46:11 UTC

The fprint dialog must not disappear until success or returning to password authentication.

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2022-08-30 20:21:56 UTC

This is an fprint/PAM issue. The fingerprint authentication method has a timeout and stops being active after a time. That's just the way it works. To alter this would require changes outside of the scope of KDE, either in fprint, PAM, or their configuration files.

Ok, I sent a bug report to openSUSE team.
