A Python driver and DBus service for Validity fingerprint sensors on Linux, integrating with fprintd for biometric authentication. It supports enrolling and identifying fingerprints for system login via PAM.
Use cases
- enable fingerprint login on a Linux laptop with a Validity sensor
- enroll fingerprints with fprintd-enroll on Ubuntu or Arch
- fix fingerprint sensor not working after suspend
- factory-reset a Validity fingerprint chip
- replace stock fprintd with an open driver for unsupported sensors
When to choose
- you have a Validity fingerprint sensor unsupported by stock fprintd on Linux
- you want PAM-based fingerprint authentication on Ubuntu, Arch, or Fedora
- you need to debug or reset a Validity sensor
When to avoid
- your fingerprint sensor is already supported by upstream libfprint/fprintd
- you are not on a Linux system
- you need a GUI-driven biometric setup without CLI steps
