To reproduce, enroll your fingerprint with a compatible fingerprint reader. This can be done using fprintd-enroll, which required fprintd to be installed.
Enable sudo fingerprint authentication by running sudo authselect enable-feature with-fingerprint
:SudaWrite a file
Suda will then hang waiting for a fingerprint. Notably, if an incorrect password is provided but a fingerprint is used, authentication will succeed. If a fingerprint is not provided, Suda will hang until fingerprint authentication times out, at which point it will continue as normal.
While this is a system configuration issue, it would be nice if Suda provided some indication that the system is waiting for a fingerprint to continue with the authentication process.
Additionally, a config option could be provided to allow authentication to succeed using a fingerprint without having to input a password into Suda.
Using a fingerprint "unhalts" suda.
It seems sudo is waiting for a fingerprint despite writing a password.
