Welcome to a new issue of "This Week in Plasma"! Every week we cover as much as possible of what's happening in the world of KDE Plasma and its associated apps like Discover, System Monitor, and more.
Very good work everyone, thank you !
A lot of good work! Thanks!
Any update regarding incorporating SDDM?
Login with fingerprint still absent on KDE. :-/ I’m not even talking about face unlock support (Windows Hello).
A replacement is being cooked up. 
Nothing to report yet since it’s early, but things are happening!
Great work everyone!
Keep this Biometric Trojan Horse BS out of my KDE please. Not only is it the only password you can never change if it gets compromised, but I can probably lift your fingerprint from a glass with scotch tape and use it.
Thanks.

EXACTLY!!!
No one forces you to use it, I’m using on phone, notebooks etc and have no problem with it.
xnan1 is 1,000,000,000,000% correct.
If someone really needs access to your device, there’s always the soldering iron, pliers, and electric current to know your so secure password.
Is Plasma 6.4 going to be an LTS release? It’s been two years since 5.27 was released as an LTS. It feels like it would line up nicely with Qt 6.8 being an LTS release.
There is currently no LTS planned (that I am aware of).

Stellar work, as usual.
Have the team considered adding an option to make any transient manual changes to a window “permanent” by creating a Window Rule for it in the background?
I duly create my window rules—the “Detect Window Properties” button IS EVERYTHING!—but I believe adding the feature I mentioned above could substantially boost window management ergonomics for many KDE users.
