[Feature Request] Windows hello support #153
Comments
FWIW, KeePassXC has managed to enable a 'quick login" feature that connects directly to Windows Hellos without needing to enter a password - being a GUI-based app, it does have a button to quick unlock, and then once the facial recognition kicks in Windows Hello also throws up a dialog box that requires you to press OK after confirmation, so I'm already used to a 2 click methodology. But if you could reduce that to a single click (as in automatically accept the facial recognition, which I suspect Windows Hello will not allow you to do) that would be great. |
Sure thing @JohnLGalt. I´ve tried on my notebook with another webcam that supports face recognition and it worked. Just by enabling face recognition in windows settings, (provided that you first changed UAC to prompt for credentials) the UAC popup starts face recognition (without clicks), recognizes my face, and only then allows to click once on the Yes button. So this is possible without any change to gsudo whatsoever, at least on that Windows 11 Home. I still can´t make it work on my Windows 11 Pro desktop machine, not sure why, if it is a windows edition problem or what is the problem. |
Windows Hello already works with UAC prompts. My current account setup is like this actual user account is a microsoft account, also not an administrator Now whenever I need to escalate privileges from my actual non admin account, UAC prompt shows up with password fields for the admin account. At this point, I can use the fingerprint reader, use the correct finger for the admin account and UAC grants elevation. It even shows a brief windows hello animation on the prompt itself. |
Normally, in order to enter the admin password, the system must have the highest level of UAC. We can use windows hello instead. Can you add this to gsudo? The following project can be given as an example.
