Comment 10 for bug 216697

While I fully understand and agree that KDM cannot possible support every custom PAM module, I believe fingerprint authentication is so widespread and important that it deserves a certain amount of special treatment.

More and more computers are shipped with fingerprint readers, and logging in with username + fingerprint makes little sense as the fingerprint is both unique and secure, and as such, the KDM should from a usability point of view be able to identify and log the user in with one single swipe - no mouse or key clicked.

If for nothing else, consider it from a usability point of view.

Thanks.
