Problem to auto unlock gnome-keyring when using fprintd to login

I am using Hyprland and greetd, follow the wiki to config the fprint and greetd to login with fingerprint.
this is the /etc/pam.d/system-local-login:

#%PAM-1.0

auth       sufficient   pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok
auth       sufficient   pam_fprintd.so
auth      include   system-login
account   include   system-login
password  include   system-login
session   include   system-login

and /etc/pam.d/greetd:

#%PAM-1.0

auth       required     pam_securetty.so
auth       requisite    pam_nologin.so
auth       substack      system-local-login
auth       optional     pam_gnome_keyring.so
account    include      system-local-login
session    include      system-local-login
session    optional     pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start

and start in hyprland config:

exec-once = gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=secrets

When I login with password, the login keyring  auto unlock correctly.
But when I login with fingerprint, the login keyring still lock and need password to unlock.
What should I do?

unless you can auto unlock gnome-keyring with your fingerprint you're not going to get around this, your fingerprint is not your password and that is what the PAM module for gnome-keyring needs.
