Do you have a fingerprint reader? In GNOME 51 we improved the user interface for managing fingerprints, and now adding, removing or even storing multiple different fingerprints is easier than ever.
Note: this feature isn't limited to smartphones!

@gnome@floss.social not sure who's cup of tea it is, but I have the issue that if I use my laptop docked and have the lid closed, and I run anything that required authentication, it still asks me for my fingerprint... even though my laptop is closed... especially annoying with sudo and shit

@gnome@floss.social That's cool but apps still ask for the password to unlock the keyring. I hope in the future the keyring can be unlocked with the fingerprint at logon.
