Description Philippe ROUBACH 2022-08-25 09:48:01 UTC 
SUMMARY

Today to activate the fingerprint authentication we must :
- install packages like fprintd ... etc.
- modify in /etc/pam.d/ the file sddm by adding pam statements and create a file named "kde" with some pam statements.

This work is for a techie person.

If kde detect a fingerprint reader, it must do the job.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2022-08-25 10:30:23 UTC 
Unfortunately KDE code doesn't have input into how this should be done, because the exact setup procedure and the packages needed vary by distro. So this is something for the distro to do, not us.
Comment 2 Philippe ROUBACH 2022-08-25 11:59:37 UTC 
I sent a bug report to openSUSE.

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1202740

the answer

"... Agreeing with Frederic that this should be handled by GNOME/KDE, not YaST."

Perhaps opensuse and kde must join their effort.
