Description

A system D-Bus service that lets desktop tools and login components access supported fingerprint readers. It is part of enabling fingerprint enrollment and authentication on compatible hardware.

Use it only if your device has supported fingerprint hardware and you want biometric login or unlock features. Biometric access should be configured carefully and kept alongside a password fallback.

How to run
