howdy

add a keybind to bypass howdy
add a keybind while trying to authenticate to bypass face recognition in case something wrong happens (ie, camera not turning on but not throwing an error)
why this? after the camera timeout howdy will ask you for the password
that is if it times out, idk why but recently (after using /dev/video0 instead of /dev/video1) it just doesn't time out, no camera light or anything too
which distro do you use?
It's a good proposal, holding the escape key has been proposed before but not yet implemented: https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy/issues/713#issuecomment-1297202231
If someone wants to implement that on the dev branch they are very welcome to
yeah, I got locked out of my system
also I think droidcam or obs is using /dev/video0 for a virtual camera so it didn't throw an error and let me type in my password?
Sorry I don't understand your problem. If you set howdy in pam configuration as "sufficient" it will check your face but if error incurred (i.e. time out) it will ask you a password. Why you need a key for bypass it
