Description hyperspeed1313 2024-10-05 14:06:25 UTC 
Created attachment 174448 [details]
Stays on this screen for 20-30 seconds after inputting password

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enroll fingerprint
2. Run graphical application that requires elevated privileges (e.g. KDE Partition Manager)
3. Authenticate using password instead of fingerprint

OBSERVED RESULT
There is a ~20-30 second delay while waiting for a fingerprint. The fingerprint prompt then changes to say "Verification timed out" at which point the password is accepted. This delay occurs whether I close the hint telling me to use fingerprint authentication or leave it visible.

EXPECTED RESULT
The GUI should try the provided password immediately and bypass the fingerprint reader timeout.

I wasn't sure what project to write this against. kdesu looks different to the authentication prompt I'm seeing and I don't have kdesudo installed, which are the two projects I might have written this against.
