Howdy provides Windows Hello™ style authentication for Linux. Use your built-in IR emitters and camera in combination with facial recognition to prove who you are.

  • Documentation available
  • Examples available
  • Install the howdy package from the AUR
  • If you want to build Howdy from source, a few dependencies are required
