Description Bastien Nocera 2008-12-13 00:27:23 UTC 
Like in Windows, it should be possible to swipe your finger to complete credentials onto a web page. This should use fprintd's D-Bus API.
Comment 1 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-10-08 02:22:47 UTC 
Bastien, given that epiphany now uses gnome keyring, isn't this handled automatically now?
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2012-10-11 09:51:28 UTC 
No, it's about epiphany verifying the user's credentials for each time where it would simply fill it in from gnome-keyring. gnome-keyring could implement that, and close the keyring in which the web passwords are every time we request one, but that would need a better UI.
