Add chapters for the top bar and its panels, screenshots and recording, toggles/idle/screensaver, browsers, shell plugins, and networking, which collects the Wi-Fi, DNS, firewall, and Tailscale material that was spread across the FAQ, TUIs, and services chapters. Fill smaller gaps in the existing chapters: user hooks, autostart, menu extensions, printing, power profiles, factory reset, drive and user passwords, passwordless sudo, firmware updates, display text size, and the LocalSend share menu.

# Hardware authentication

### Fingerprint authentication
|
|
|
|
A lot of laptops come with a fingerprint sensor to do authentication. You can use this with Omarchy by running _Setup > Security > Fingerprint_ in the Omarchy menu (`Super + Space`).
|
|
|
|
That'll install the fingerprint package, collect your print, verify it, and you'll be set to go using your fingerprint to unlock from the lock screen (which you can trigger with `Super + Ctrl + L`), enter sudo mode, and authorize system prompts.
|
|
|
|
When your laptop lid is closed, the fingerprint prompt is automatically skipped, so you go straight to the password prompt instead of waiting on a sensor you can't reach. If you otherwise need to work on an external keyboard that doesn't have a sensor, just hit `CTRL + C`, when you're prompted for your fingerprint during `sudo`.
|
|
|
|
You can remove the fingerprint authentication under _Remove > Security > Fingerprint_ in the Omarchy menu.

### Fido2 authentication
|
|
|
|
If you're using a Fido2 device, you can set it up for `sudo` authentication using _Setup > Security > Fido2_ in the Omarchy menu (`Super + Space`). It covers `sudo` and system authorization prompts, though, not unlocking your computer.
