It would be nice if libpam-fprintd could swallow the input like password prompts do, instead of prominentally displaying the user's password if they type it in.
I'm slightly confused by this report. Please note that I'm not the maintainer though. Given that you use libpam-fprintd, why would you enter a password in the first place if you authenticate using your fingerprint? Or are you talking about the scenario in which fprint is used and a user accidently enters a password when there is no password prompt?This. Even better yet, there could be a mode where you can authenticate by fingerprint and password at the same time. That however would probably be non-trivial to implement within the framework of pam.
