🚀 plasma-face-unlock v1.0.0

Welcome to the very first release of plasma-face-unlock! It brings Face ID to KDE Plasma: look at the screen and it unlocks. The lock screen, sudo and admin prompts can all take your face instead of a password.

Highlights

• Unlock the lock screen with your face
• sudo and admin prompts
• A bubble like Face ID
• Photos do not get in
• Packages for Arch, Fedora, Debian and Kubuntu
