Does it prompt for fingerprint if you enter an empty password? If not, I have done a little looking around and found a source that states the following :
Add the following two lines to /etc/pam.d/kde :
auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok
auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so
This configuration allows you to first press enter on the empty password field to be prompted for the fingerprint
Empty password doesn't prompt for a fingerprint, and I thought that was the old hacky workaround for Plasma 5 that Plasma 6 was supposed to have fixed?
Even if it is, I'm unable to find any other solution. It's at least worth a shot.
Do be sure to report this bug in the meantime, it's likely related to pam &/or SDDM.
Will do if I can establish what the expected behaviour is supposed to be - from the one line on the website I'd expect a "login with fingerprint" button or something, but I might be wrong - so I know what I'm seeing is actually a bug and not me misinterpreting
Will see if I can track down the original PRs or something, see if there is screenshots or a proposed UI design
So before: either enter password, or use fingerprint.
There was a bug where fingerprint always worked for me but password often didnt until I used it, quite bad.
Now this sounds as if you could enable "require password AND fingerprint" (both)
