So you use the phones login method and then what? An app uses this and sends a message or key or whatever to the Laptop? Over bluetooth? Or USB? Or Wifi?

That honestly sounds like a lot of struggles, but could work.

KDE connect maybe?

@boredsquirrel over LAN*
It already exists & has many apps for winlol like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.andreimircius.remotefingerauth and already had an app for Linux but it died, got removed from the play store
I will try KDE Connect as soon as my WiFi gets fixed

Interesting. That is a totally different use case though.

This library already makes fingerprint readers work on some Chromebooks.
