Fingerprint authentication #

A lot of laptops, like my beloved Framework 13, come with a fingerprint sensor to do authentication. You can use this with Omarchy using the omarchy-setup-fingerprint command. That'll install the fingerprint package, collect your print, verify it, and you'll be set to go using your fingerprint to unlock from the lock screen (which you can trigger with Super + Escape), enter sudo mode, and authorize system prompts.

If you've setup fingerprint authentication, but then need to work on an external keyboard that doesn't have it, just hit CTRL + C, when you're prompted for your fingerprint during sudo.

You can remove the fingerprint authentication by running omarchy-setup-fingerprint --remove.

Both adding and removing fingerprint authentication is also available through the Omarchy TUI under the Setup menu.

Fido2 authentication #

If you're using a Fido2 device, you can set it up for sudo authentication using omarchy-setup-fido2. It's only for sudo, though, not unlocking your computer.

You can remove the fido2 authentication by running omarchy-setup-fido2 --remove.
