Solved Any sensible apps around for fingerprint sensor

Hi folks
Any sensible apps for fingerprint sensor out there, particularly for accessing network drives etc -- seems much better than mere passwords or pin numbers - both of which mean committing stuff to memory and is "Hackable" (potentially).

A decent physical / biometric sensor seems the way to go - it's unlikely that scenes you see in Hollywood where fingers cut off or eyes gouged out will happen for bog standard domestic / home computers. !!!!!! The laptop I'm using has a small built in one - just slide a finger over it -- but I've got no apps yet to use it !!!!!.

Works great in Debian Bookworm with KDE. Don't need the eyescanner !!!!!! the fingerprint scanner is already built in to the laptop.

Cheers -- marking solved. !!!
