GDM passwordless login with security key (solokey)

hi.
I am fed up to fail at typing my password at the GDM login prompt (unlocking session already opened), so I want to use my solokey to login into GDM (only)

If it were possible that my password was asked at the session opening but the latter unlocking was made with the key, that wold be awesome.

I tried to follow the wiki on U2F GDM login, but what I ended up with is having to use my key AND typing my password. I changed `/etc/pam;d/gdm-password`

I just want to be able to either type my password or use my key to login/unlock session

Is there a pam guru, here, than knows the needed config ?

Thanks

Re: GDM passwordless login with security key (solokey)

There is one complication: it seems gnome-keyring needs your password to be unlocked, so using the key alone is not enough, and you need to type your password anyway.

This project is working around the problem: https://github.com/recolic/gnome-keyring-yubikey-unlock
But does hti swork with a solokey ?
