Workaround for missing biometrics

I’m really excited for my Framework 12 to arrive in a few months and I know I’m not expecting a specced out beast. But I’ve become so accustomed to having a fingerprint reader included with my Laptops now, I’m wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a 3rd party fingerprint reader; maybe even something that can be tinkered into an expansion card slot.

From my research so far it seems like they’re hard to find with Linux support.

Hi,

I had this thought as well. The functionality can be easily added by a hardware key, e.g. YubiKeys | Two-Factor Authentication for Secure Login. Perhaps better than a fingerprint reader, some versions have a reader too.
