This is what I'm trying to do but under Windows and Debian + preferably with a mechanical keyboard. Well the mechanical keyboard w/ fingerprint reader is the bigger ask cause there aren't many choices. There is a decently good one with Cherry MX switches from Taiwan but pretty much impossible to order one to Europe (they sell their other keyboards but not the one with fingerprint reader) https://www.i-rocks.com/web/product/product_in.jsp?pd_no=PD1550820469030&lang=en https://www.i-rocks.com/web/product/product_in.jsp?pd_no=PD1...
- TacticalCoder 4y agoWhy not a FIDO key? The most stupid ones work with just a click (but they do work and they're cheap, so there's that). Then there are slightly less dumb ones that works with your fingerprint. Then there are less stupid ones which are using a PIN to register a new service and another PIN to authenticate yourself to a previously registered service.
- jeroenhd 4y agoIt's not exactly the same, but you could try to buy a keyboard with a USB port on the back and add a USB fingerprint reader (i.e. https://www.kensington.com/p/products/data-protection/biometric/verimark-fingerprint-key-fido-u2f-2nd-factor-authentication-and-windows-hello/ https://www.kensington.com/p/products/data-protection/biomet...) that way. You'd have a little "key" dangling off the back or side of your keyboard and you'd be "wasting" a USB port on your fancy keyboard, but it'd work to get a fingerprint reader close to your hands on a desktop.
