PC Bio Unlock allows you to unlock your pc with your phone's biometric scanner. Windows and Linux are supported.
Windows Features:
- Unlock the Windows Login/Lock screen
- Unlock UAC prompt
Linux Features:
- sudo unlocking
- polkit (pkexec) unlocking
- GNOME, GDM, KDE and SDDM
Pairing Methods:
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth (needs Wi-Fi for initial pairing)
There is a Pro version providing additional features:
- Auto Unlock (when phone is in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth range)
- Wear OS Notification (allows unlocking through a watch)
- Unlimited devices
Security:
During the pairing process, a random key is generated to encrypt all traffic between your devices. This key is inaccessible for normal users. Your login data is stored encrypted on your phone.
Additional Notes:
For pairing, both devices need to be in the same network or Wi-Fi. The pairing server uses port 43295 by default. If you use a custom firewall, it might be necessary to add a rule for that port. The unlock process can be aborted anytime on the PC by pressing Ctrl+Alt.
Wake on LAN is supported as well and a widget is available.
