I don’t see why System Settings needs to “obtain the number of enrolled fingerprints”. System Settings is the only access point through which you can register a fingerprint, so it can keep count itself. Even later, once the first-run setup lets you register fingerprints too, it could place an initial count somewhere that System Settings can read.
Can you explain how multiple fingerprints vs. multiple users are related? The purpose of registering multiple fingerprints is so that you can, for example, register one on each hand, to avoid having to juggle a baby, briefcase, shopping bag, or whatever you’re carrying with your other hand. For the error messages, could you provide a complete list of possible error messages/codes returned by the reader? ** Description changed: The panel Security & Privacy should allow for setup of fingerprint authentication for use on the lock screen. The story looks like this: - * A “Fingerprint” item will be added under “Lock security” - * A “Fingerprint” panel will list previously recorded fingerprints, and an “Add fingerprint” item at the end of this list. - * A panel will record fingerprints with buttons “Cancel” and “Next” if recorded successfully. - * A code will be recorded that corresponds to a fingerprint (used if fingerprint auth fails n times). + * A “Fingerprint” item will be added under “Security & Privacy” + * The corresponding “Fingerprint” panel will let you add a passcode if necessary, register a fingerprint, or forget previously recorded fingerprints. + * An “Add Fingerprint” dialog will record fingerprints with buttons “Cancel” and “Done” if recorded successfully. This is currently blocked due to the fingerprint API being non-existent. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityAndPrivacySettings#Phone> <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityAndPrivacySettings#fingerprint> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1547040 Title: Allow setup of fingerprint auth in Security & Privacy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/platform-api/+bug/1547040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
