Expected Behavior

Ability to run a command on events like keyboard activity and or wrong password entered. This would allow running e.g. fswebcam or similar to take a photo/video of whoever tried to unlock your machine.

Thanks for your feature request.

Spawning processes while your screen is locked is too much of a footgun in terms of security.

I don’t want to add such a feature. Thanks for understanding.
