Fingerprint & Keyring

[Fraoch]

I’d like to be able to use this too, but the login keyring cannot seem to use a fingerprint as an authentication method.

Google “the login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer” and you’ll see “fixes” which consist of turning it off, but it just asks again whenever you require access to the keyring.

The keyring uses your password to decrypt, so with a fingerprint login, you cannot access the keyring (for things like email) until you supply the decryption key (password). That’s why I found fingerprint login somewhat useless.

Turning this “off” is a security risk:
