Description

It would be nice to add an option that whenever the entered phrase matches the actual password, the log in process automatically starts, without having to click Enter key.

PAM doesn't work like that. This would require checking the password on every keypress. However, PAM introduces a delay of a few seconds each time the password is wrong. This would make logging in a very painful experience.
