[Bug 998367] Re: fingerprint login can't access encrypted home user account
I still see the issue with 20.04 After a reboot, I get the 'swipe finger to login' message. I swipe, it tries to login and immediately logouts. I then have to wait for the timeout to enter the password, I login and logout, and the fingerprint now works without any issue. Message on syslog is the same as above mentioned fprintd[1154]: Device responded with error: 789 fprintd[1154]: Ignoring device due to initialization error: The driver encountered a protocol error with the device.

[Bug 998367] Re: fingerprint login can't access encrypted home user account
we all know that encryption is very important nowadays.

I just run into exact that issue running Linux Mint 18.3 with encrypted home folder and set up fingerprints to "login" :-) To understand why this issue is still unresolved I also have read Dustin Kirkland's blog post and now I understand.

[Bug 998367] Re: fingerprint login can't access encrypted home user account
Ok... I get your point. I understand your idea about the fingerprints. Nevertheless, I think is fair to give the opportunity to the user to choose either use or not to use the fingerprints to identify. The information that you shared makes a valid point, but in my opinion the final decision must be taken by the user, understanding the risk that it involves. Therefore, I think is necessary to solve this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998367 Title: fingerprint login can't access encrypted home user account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fingerprint-gui/+bug/998367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There is no point in encrypting your data if you're going to use fingerprints to authenticate. ** Changed in: ecryptfs-utils (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998367 Title: fingerprint login can't access encrypted home user account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fingerprint-gui/+bug/998367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I will never, ever, ever add support to eCryptfs for fingerprint readers. Sorry.
