Question: Biometric support - windows 11 ?

[olejsc]

Hi.

This looks like a great project, and I've been looking for something like this to supplement ordinary key-vault usage.

I have a question though, Is there support builtin for biometric unlocking ? Face / finger print on windows 11.
I'm sure it would be useful on mac too.

Cheers 😄

Hi! Thanks for the kind words and the great suggestion.

Biometric unlocking (TouchID / Windows Hello) is definitely on the high-priority list for the future roadmap. It perfectly fits the "fast access" philosophy of Sklad.

Currently, the core focus is on stabilizing the Tauri v2 implementation and the master password flow (AES-256-GCM). Adding native biometric support requires integrating with OS-specific APIs (like LocalAuthentication on macOS or Windows.Security.Credentials on Windows), which is a bit more complex.

I’ve tagged this as a Feature Request. If anyone from the community has experience with biometric crates in Rust or Tauri plugins and wants to help, Pull Requests are more than welcome!

In the meantime, I'll be investigating the best way to implement this securely while keeping the app lightweight.

Thanks for the support!
