Face recognition unlock for 1Password

I found the exact topic of my issue as well - not sure why the post was closed without ever posting any response other than some diagnostics...

https://1password.community/discussion/138500/howdy-facial-recognition-doesnt-integrate-with-1password-in-fedora-37

I'm also running the latest RPM-based version. I've followed the thread mentioned to add the schema line to my settings file, and I do get a fingerprint button. When tapping it, I just get the password entry. To enable howdy, you need to add the howdy PAM authenetication step to the polkit service's authentication:

add the line to /etc/pam.d/polkit-1:


auth sufficient pam_python.so /lib64/security/howdy/pam.py

and restart polkit:


sudo systemctl restart polkit.service

    I found adding a facial recognition step could be tricky, but a neat tool I used is https://face2social.com/. It's more about social media, but it works seamlessly with facial data. I had a good experience trying it out, and it’s pretty user-friendly. Maybe once you've tackled the integration, exploring this tool could complement your setup in a fun way.
