+fprintd is a daemon that provides fingerprint scanning functionality
+over D-Bus.
+This is the software developers will want to integrate with to add
+fingerprint authentication to OSes, desktop environments and
+applications.
+It also includes small command-line utilities if your desktop
+environment does not integrate support.
+A PAM module to implement user login (pam_fprintd) is available.
+To enable it add these lines on top of /etc/pam.d/sddm:
+
+auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok
+auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so
+
+And /etc/pam.d/kde:
+
+auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok
+auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so
