As a Windows user I am also using facial recognition and fingerprint scanning as means of unlocking the operative system. In the same spirit I wanted to connect it to my Kali Linux dual boot.
A quick look at Bing gave me the following information.
Start by opening the terminal, use Ctrl + Alt + T for example, then run each of these commands.
sudo apt install fprintd libpam-fprintd
sudo pam-auth-update
This will open a dialogue box, where you can select the "fingerprint authentication" option.
fprintd-enroll
Now you will touch the fingerprint sensor repeatedly until it says complete.
fprintd-verify
This let's you confirm functionality.
sudo fwupdmgr refresh
sudo fwupdmgr get-updates
sudo fwupdmgr update
Finally, lock your screen with Windows-key + L. It should allow you to test the fingerprint reader.
Thank you for this procedure; it was much more efficient than the AI, which made me perform an unbelievable number of commands.

Yes, I have had the same experience, sometimes it does not scan until I start writing a password. It is faster on Win11.
