Description

Facial recognition can be added to Linux authentication flows in a Windows Hello-like style.

It is useful for users who want biometric convenience for login or privilege prompts, especially on personal machines. Face authentication uses camera data and PAM integration, so lighting, spoofing risk, fallback passwords, and lockout behavior must be understood.
