Fingerprint Setup
by Thaddeus Stepanovich
Enrol fingerprints that actually work
About
Laptop fingerprint readers see a small patch of your finger, so a press only matches if it lands where you enrolled. Enrolling every press the same way is the usual reason fingerprint login feels unreliable. Fingerprint Setup guides each enrolment press to a different part of your fingertip, then tests the result and tells you whether it is any good before you rely on it. Works with any reader supported by fprintd.
