I just setup my system, after a little struggle, to accept a PIN to unlock a session already open using the regular password. I wish you could embrace the PIN to unlock the kde session, fully ! I mean, make easy to the user to choose to use a PIN by giving the proper GUI option in kde config panel and make the screenlocker to display the proper prompt at unlock screen, and accept the PIN without a ENTER key at end. A button to switch to use the full password (one time action) to unlock the screen would be nice too.
How did you set it up this way?
Not exactly that way. The way I described it is an improvement . For instance, the unlock screen shows no indication it is expecting a PIN. Also, I have to press ENTER after the PIN. I've followed this [blog](https://blog.fancypi.cn/blog/pin_login_in_kde.html) and manually install the package libpam-pwdfile and manually edited the file /usr/lib/pam.d/kde.

May i ask how you did manually install the package ? I'm new to linux, and couldn't find the package using dnf
