Description

Fingerprint authentication can use custom backends through a standalone service. This helps administrators or device integrators support biometric workflows beyond the default fprintd setup.

It handles biometric authentication data and login-adjacent behavior. Review backend trust, device support, enrollment flow, and fallback access before enabling it.
