Question: Is it possible for Howdy to have a timeout after locking period or use additional confirmation for lock?

Hi there,

First of all Howdy is an amazing tool and I love it. I started using it on my laptop and loved it so much I bought a Hello compatible camera for my desktop as well.

First some info about my setup:

Howdy 3.0.0 BETA
Fedora 41 w/ KDE (pretty standard setup)
Installed Howdy from copr (beta)

My question/issue:

When locking the screen by Meta+L, kscreensaver appears but howdy immediately activates and unlocks. Since the detection is fast, when I lock my desktop machine, it unlocks before I leave my desk.

Any ideas on how to adjust the setup so this doesn't happen?

I've tried:

1. playing with the order of auth methods in `/etc/pam.d/kde`, didn't help
2. looking into kscreensaver settings to see if there is some way to have a button before unlock (or a key combo)

Thanks in advance.

Start by reviewing the KDE lock flow and the authentication method order in /etc/pam.d/kde, then inspect how Howdy is invoked during screen locking. Compare the possible timeout and confirmation approaches against the reported behavior; done means locking the desktop no longer immediately unlocks while preserving normal facial authentication.
