Bug Description

I believe adding better biometric authentication support would be extremely useful and could help people move to Linux from Windows.

Adding support for facial recognition with IR cameras on login or any other point of authentication (e.g. sudo or gui authentication) would save time and make the move from Windows to Linux easier, as people don't want to have to give up a feature of the laptop just to use Ubuntu.
