<summary><strong>How do I enable fingerprint authentication on the lockscreen?</strong></summary>

Noctalia supports fingerprint authentication via PAM. To enable it:
118
-
119
-
1.**Edit the PAM configuration file** at `~/.config/noctalia/pam/password.conf`
120
-
2.**Uncomment the fingerprint line** by removing the `#`:
121
-
```conf
122
-
auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so max-tries=1
123
-
auth required pam_unix.so
124
-
```
125
-
3.**Install required packages**: `fprintd` and `pam_fprintd`
126
-
4.**Enroll your fingerprint** (if needed): `fprintd-enroll`
127
-
5.**Restart Noctalia** for changes to take effect
128
-
129
-
After enabling, you can unlock using either your fingerprint or password. The fingerprint will be attempted first (max 1 try), then it falls back to password authentication.
130
-
131
-
**Note:** The PAM configuration file is created automatically on first launch. If it doesn't exist, restart Noctalia and it will be generated.

Noctalia now uses the standard <code>/etc/pam.d/login</code> for authentication. If you are unable to unlock your lock screen, make sure this file exists and is properly configured on your system.
218
+
219
+
On some distributions (such as openSUSE), <code>/etc/pam.d/login</code> may not be present by default. You may need to create it manually or copy it from another distribution. Consult your distribution's documentation for details.
220
+
221
+
If you have previously used a custom PAM configuration for fingerprint authentication or any other form of authentication, you can now remove it. Noctalia will use the system's default authentication methods as defined in <code>/etc/pam.d/login</code>.

openSUSE in particular does not provide the required /etc/pam.d/login.
