Recently, I encountered a rather surreal situation on my #thinkpad Z16 AMD where my #arch #linux system running #gnome would no longer accept my #password. 😲

As I have since discovered, this was caused by pam_fprintd and a fingerprint authentication process that was repeatedly failing without me noticing. 🫣😅

After having to reboot several times into an #emergencytarget, I have now completely disabled the fingerprint sensor. 🙃
