Agree with this 100%. It is a pain to set up and new users will be lost trying to work it out. There should be a simple way to get this set up eg. with a UI in KWallet for example.

This is very much needed. It would be great to be able to use fingerprint or type password immediately both at login and when requesting root after login. Currently, with difficulty it is possible to set things up so that one entry method has to fail before the other is offered. Both should be offered at once.
