PAM Face

PAM Face is a Linux Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) for password-less face authentication using OpenCV. Only a webcam is required.

Per default the password authentication is set as fallback. Two-factor authentication is also possible. The module has to be configured by the pamface-conf program.

Installation

Please note that PAM Face is currently in development.

Remarks

PAM Face is not compatible with OpenCV 3.1 as there is a bug that has been fixed in a later version: http://answers.opencv.org/question/82294/cant-get-predict-confidence/

You will get the error: 'int' object has no attribute '__getitem__'
