Going forward, I’ve also revamped the [fingerprint section of the Fedora 37 guide](https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Fedora+37+Installation+on+the+Framework+Laptop/108?lang=en) (right side of section 5).

> **Configure fingerprint reader**  
> Install the needed packages  
> `sudo dnf install fprintd fprintd-pam`
> 
> Make sure the service is enabled and running
> 
> `systemclt status fprintd.service`
> 
> If it needs to be enabled or started
> 
> `systemclt enable fprintd.service`  
> `systemclt start fprintd.service`
> 
> Erase any old prints  
> `fprintd-delete $USER`
> 
> Let’s enroll your new fingerprints  
> `fprintd-enroll`
> 
> Verify new fingerprints  
> `fprintd-verify`
> 
> Make sure PAM is authenticated for fingerprints
> 
> `sudo authselect enable-feature with-fingerprint`  
> `sudo authselect apply-changes`
> 
> Verify it
> 
> `sudo authselect current`
> 
> Upon reboot, your fingerprint will allow you login.
