I'm searching for clues on how to use a fingerprint reader to unlock a LUKS-encrypted device. My hard disk uses /dev/sda2 (encrypted with LUKS) to start the OS. I don't want to use complex passphrases because it could be forgotten by the users. How do you use a fingerprint to boot from a LUKS-encrypted device?
