Integrate with Gnome "Authentication Required" Popup (not `gnome-keyring`)

Howdy,

I truly appreciate this amazing project that add convenience into my day-to-day workflow. So thank you.

I have tried look around the web and doesn't seem to find any source that could tell me which pam module that is used in Gnome's "Authentication Required" popup. By default it could be authenticated through password or fingerprint unlock. But I want to use howdy to authenticate this popup.

I believe it is not part of the gnome-keyring that is asked once during boot up (though I am not too sure). Which doesn't bother me too much. But this is a different pop up that come up when, for example: changing configuration in gnome setting, unlocking password manager that are integrated into the system for biometric unlocking, GUI app that need root access eg. package manager etc.

Thanks in advance,
