Prevent the user from being able to log in using a fingerprint
scanner.
Disallow login using a fingerprint
Users with a fingerprint scanner can use their fingerprints
instead of a password to log in. Fingerprint login
needs to be set up by the
user before it can be used.
Fingerprint readers are not always reliable, so you may wish to disable
login using the reader for security reasons.
Disable login using a fingerprint reader:
-
Create the key file
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-login to provide
information for the local database.
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-login
# Specify the dconf path
[org/gnome/login-screen]
# Disable fingerprint reader
enable-fingerprint-authentication=false
-
To prevent the user from overriding these settings, create the file
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/login with the following
content:
/etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/fingerprintreader
# List the keys used to configure login
/org/gnome/login-screen/enable-fingerprint-authentication
