What Happened?

After waking up the device, greeter is shown with a fingerprint icon indicating that it can be unlocked using a fingerprint. If the user doesn't unlock the device, the fingerprint icon disappears and the scanner is no longer active. Password is requested instead.
Note: I'm using libpam-fprintd.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Boot/wake the device that has a fingerprint set up and ensure that greeter is shown
  2. Notice that the fingerprint icon is shown
  3. Wait 10-15 seconds
  4. Notice that the fingerprint icon disappears

Expected Behavior

The fingerprint icon should stay there unless I touch the sensor. Well, #502 would be nice too, but that's a separate issue.

OS Version

7.x (Horus)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

Log Output

No response

Hardware Info

ThinkPad T16 AMD

Nice, adjusting max-tries and timeout to higher values are just what I need.
Note that i've tried adding nullok to the fingerprint-related line, but it didn't make any difference (at least with max-tries set to a higher value).

Since it turns out these aren't related to greeter, I'm inclined to close this issue. I'd be very happy if these values would either be made higher by default or if there were settings for them.
