=== Disable/Enable fprint ===

With [[fprint]] enabled on the system, SDDM will expect a fingerprint after entering any password. SDDM does not show any prompt for this and this will time out after some time and SDDM will attempt to use your entered password. If you have your fingerprints enrolled, you can press enter and use your fingerprint reader.

==== Enable fprint system wide ====

You can enable this behavior by enabling fprint. You will need to use a method to enroll your fingerprints, desktop environments such as KDE have GUI for doing so.

{{File|3=services.fprintd.enable = true;|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|lang=nix}}

==== Disable fprint for login ====

Stops SDDM from prompting for fingerprint.

{{File|3=security.pam.services.login.fprintAuth = false;|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|lang=nix}}

== Troubleshooting ==

~~If the login hangs after you put in your password, it may be because you have fprint enabled. SDDM is likely waiting for a fingerprint without prompting.~~

You can ~~fix~~ this ~~hanging behaviors~~ by ~~disabling~~ fprint ~~for login in pam~~.

=== SDDM Hangs after entering password ===

~~security.pam.services.login.fprintAuth = false;~~

With fprint enabled, SDDM will expect a fingerprint after entering any password. SDDM is likely waiting for a fingerprint without a prompt. You can disable this behavior by seeing the fprint configuration section of this article.
