Fprint how authenticate on every service/app with the fingerprint

hi everyone,
i use a fingerprint with GDM to open Gnome 42 session.
But just right after login, a service want to tape my password to authenticate to the google/chrome service or to establish wifi connection
This annoying me.
Do you think it's possible to use my fingerprint for all app or service ? (perhaps with PAM but i don't how)
If yes, how to ?
Thanks

That's the gnome keyring that needs unlocking it would be unlocked by default if you used PW login, afaik you can't configure fingerprint for that. If you want to disable that you could set an empty password for the gnome-keyring which would store these secrets  unencrypted
