Can unlocking use biometrics such as fingerprint recognition to unlock every time the computer is restarted. #10508

Thank you very much for your work, this is a very useful open source project. I think the security of this project could be improved: Having to re-enter my password every time my computer reboots is bothersome and insecure. If someone wants to get my password, all they have to do is place a pinhole camera where I work. Would it be possible to add the option to log in with window hello every time the computer reboots. This is more secure. Because no one can get my fingerprints.

Actually, it's less secure. This somebody only needs a glass that you touched etc. and unlike a password you can never change your fingerprint. Nonetheless, there are requests here for fingerprint unlock already.
