Can Enpass is able to be used with a -working- fingerprint reader on linux ?

Usually I try to use free software in priority, but if Enpass works as I expect I'm ready to buy a perpetual licence

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello everybody,

I hope you're doing well, especially in theses troubled days due to the Covid pandemic...

Since my last message here, I saw new versions of Enpass has been released. How about working finger print reader on linux ?

Thanks a lot in advance, and God bless you.

Hello,

I'm using Xubuntu 18 (a distro based on Ubuntu with XFCE), and I'm interested by fingerprint reader too. A few reader are supported by linux, you may look at fprintf project:

https://fprint.freedesktop.org/

I'm looking for such USB reader, the only one that seems well suported is the Eikon mini USB:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/-/issues/260

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007P5J4H8

In parallel, I'm using for years a password keeper, first I used Keepass, an when I switched to Linux a year ago, I used KeepassXC.

For convenience, I would rather want to use a fingerprint reader instead of a password for unlock my password database, but KeepassXC doesn't allow it.

I looked for free alternative that can use a fingerprint reader to unlock database, but I didn't find it. Only Enpass seems to be native on linux and (?) can use a fingerprint reader.

So my question is:

Can Enpass is able to be used with a -working- fingerprint reader on linux ?

Usually I try to use free software in priority, but if Enpass works as I expect I'm ready to buy a perpetual licence

Thanks a lot in advance.
