KDE Neon 6.0 login screen does not automatically unlock after face detection

[koulmakgrat]

By default, the KDE login screen does not automatically unlock after face detection. I fixed it by replacing the Howdy line with auth sufficient pam_python.so /lib/security/howdy/pam.py in /etc/pam.d/common-auth.

p.s: I also executed this command because I encountered an unknown error 1 after face detection on login screen (Not SDDM) $sudo chmod -R 755 /lib/security/howdy

I've searched for similar issues already, and my issue has not been reported yet.

Linux distribution (if applicable): kde neon 6.0

Howdy version (sudo howdy version): Howdy 2.6.1

[erget]

I'm running the latest from main:

erget@erget:~$ sudo howdy version
Howdy 3.0.0 BETA

and think I'm running up against the same problem:

kded6 is trying to open the wallet in order to get my wifi password, it seems.

I'd like to fix it, but I already have this in /etc/pam.d/common-auth: auth sufficient /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/security/pam_howdy.so

And /lib/security/howdy/pam.py doesn't exist on my machine. In fact, there seems to be no pam.py at in the howdy directories at all, although there are pam files that look like they're in cpp:

Is there a way to fix this in 3.0?
