Package: fprintd
Version: 1.94.2-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I checked how to enable the fingerprint authentication functionality on
linux, so that I may use it isntead of inserting a password when I loging and
hopefully when the terminal asks for the password.
My fingerprint chip is: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04f3:0c4b Elan
Microelectronics Corp. ELAN:Fingerprint
My machine is: Lenovo ThinkPad E15 (Ryzen 7, AMD Radeon Graphics)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
1 - installed fprintd & libpam-fprintd (and enabled fingerprint in PAM
configuration menu)
2 - restarted laptop
3 - opened "Users" menu
4 - selected user
5 - clicked on the now available (after fprintd installation) menu button
called: "Configure Fingerprint Authentication..."
6 - clicked "add"
7 - selected right index finger
8 - inserted root password
9 - scanned the finger succesfully
10- ERROR appears inside the fingerprint app screen: "the device has
disconnected"
* What was the outcome of this action?
See the above step by step description.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected the fingerprint to be registered and for Kali Linux to know
accept my fingerprint.
