To minimize the chance of this program being compromised, it's recommended to leave Howdy in /lib/security and to keep it read-only.ĭO NOT USE HOWDY AS THE SOLE AUTHENTICATION METHOD FOR YOUR SYSTEM. Howdy is a more quick and convenient way of logging in, not a more secure one. Although it's harder to fool than normal face recognition, a person who looks similar to you, or a well-printed photo of you could be enough to do it.
This package is in no way as secure as a password and will never be.
If you encounter an error that hasn't been reported yet, don't be afraid to open a new issue. Windows Hello in Windows 10 is a biometric means of recognizing a user and authenticating them to a device using a fingerprint, secure PIN, or face recognition. If authentication still fails but no errors are printed, you could take a look at the last lines in /var/log/auth.log to see if anything has been reported there. TroubleshootingĪny Python errors get logged directly into the console and should indicate what went wrong. If you want to port Howdy to another distro, feel free to open an issue for that too. If you want to do more, you can also buy me a coffee.Ĭode contributions are also very welcome. Windows Hello allows you to sign in to the device using biometrics, and to use the feature, you must install the Hello Face driver in Windows 11. The easiest ways to contribute to Howdy is by starring the repository and opening GitHub issues for features you'd like to see. Open the config file in your default editor
