Description

Biometric login prompts can wait without a fixed timeout while password authentication remains available. Administrators install this variant when fprintd authentication should wait longer than default policy.

Unlimited waits can stall login flows or leave prompts active longer than expected. Keep a tested password fallback and review timeout policy.
