I am aware that I am not really addressing the original poster's question, but possibly helpful anyway: I can suggest to consider options where typing a password is replaced by presence of something physically, using packages like these: libpam-biometric / libpam-fprintd - fingerprint libpam-blue - bluetooth device libpam-p11 / libpam-pkcs11 / libpam-poldi - smartcard libpam-ssh-agent-auth - user-to-root access libpam-yubico / libpam-u2f - hardware dongle libpam-script - custom routine I am curious which solutions you end up with for your father, as I am working on streamined¹ setup of similar use cases. I would also appreciate constructive² opinions and feedback from anyone experienced with these various ways of sidestepping password-based system login. - Jonas ¹ See https://box.redpill.dk/ if curious ² Posts blindly assuming that all Debian must be treated as a fortress will be silently deleted -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
