Login with IR camera a la Windows Hello

Hey folks.

I've been a long time user of Howdy and it's been overall ok-ish in terms of experience. I mostly use it on Debian and occasionally on some other laptops that had Ubuntu.

Long story short, I was a bit upset with how the setup looks, dependencies and overall user experience and decided to try implementing a similar functionality myself, but in a more "modern" way with some extra goodies in terms of overall security. Since I don't have a large fleet of laptops with IR cameras to test this, I'd kindly ask the community to give it a try and leave some feedback if possible:

Much appreciated!

Howdy always felt bit janky with the setup, I will give this a try on my thinkpad with IR camera and report back
