LightDM: Automatically login when using fingerprint scanner











up vote

I have installed fprintd, configured it, and added it to several PAM entries as sufficient, as pointed in many other manuals and questions. Now, when I, say, use sudo or login from TTY, I can swipe my finger and it will automatically authorize me, without the need to type a password or press anything.



However, when I use fingerprint scanner with LightDM, I have to first swipe finger, and then click on 'Unlock' or 'Login' button, which is really annoying. I use LightDM with GTK greeter.



Is there a way to make LightDM automatically unlock upon successful fingerprint check?
