Description

Linux login and privilege prompts can use face recognition in a Windows Hello-style workflow. It helps users unlock or authenticate with a camera where PAM integration is configured.

Facial authentication handles biometric data and camera access, and false matches or lockouts are possible. Keep fallback authentication available, protect model data, and avoid using it where high assurance is required.
