Decrypt fscrypt locked directories with howdy

Open MK73DS opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hello,

I don't know if this is the right place to ask such a feature. Currently my /home/ directory is encrypted with fscrypt and is automatically decrypted when I login with my password, but this doesn't work with Howdy. If I log out, howdy works fine for logging in back but fscrypt can't get my passphrase (which is my user's password) from howdy.

Can such a feature be done? Is it possible for howdy to unlock an fscrypt folder that is encrypted with the user's login password? It would be a lot more convenient if I coud use facial recognition to login and decrypt my /home/ folder at the same time.

Thank you!
