Why “FIXME” in the subject?  :-)  Overall it LGTM.

The only question is whether it’s enough to have it activated by DBus,
or whether we should have a Shepherd service to make sure it’s started
when the system boots.  Thoughts?

Also, perhaps we should call the module “authentication.scm”?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

A default I forgot to fix.

Oh, I haven't done the system integration yet.  It's just providing
enough for fprintd programs to actually work (dbus activation will
be enough for those).

Ok!

Pushed as 7f93bbd5aadf0427190769fba8f478c29e37b4f4.

Let's open a new bug for the system integration later.
