Fingerprint Manager — GTK4 GUI for fprintd enroll + GDM/sudo unlock on Fedora (COPR)

Hi all! I built a small GTK4/libadwaita app for managing fingerprint login on Fedora/GNOME and published it on COPR. It covers what Settings doesn’t:

  • Enroll / verify / delete fingerprints (embedded terminal running fprintd-enroll / fprintd-verify)
  • Per-service toggles: fingerprint for GDM login (incl. lock screen) and sudo, independently, with safe fallback to password
  • Reader info (model, scan type, enroll stages); works with any net.reactivated.Fprint reader (Validity, Goodix, Synaptics, ELAN…)

Install:

sudo dnf copr enable marcos2872/fingerprint-manager
sudo dnf install fingerprint-manager

Tested on Fedora 44 (x86_64 chroots for 43/44 in COPR). Goodix readers need libfprint-tod from COPR (noted in the app’s Help tab). Feedback welcome!
