When sudo is configured to ask for a fingerprint, suda halts for a long time

Using a fingerprint "unhalts" suda.

It seems sudo is waiting for a fingerprint despite writing a password.

Hi! I have the same issue.

• To reproduce, enroll your fingerprint with a compatible fingerprint reader. This can be done using fprintd-enroll, which required fprintd to be installed.
• Enable sudo fingerprint authentication by running sudo authselect enable-feature with-fingerprint
• :SudaWrite a file

Suda will then hang waiting for a fingerprint. Notably, if an incorrect password is provided but a fingerprint is used, authentication will succeed. If a fingerprint is not provided, Suda will hang until fingerprint authentication times out, at which point it will continue as normal.
While this is a system configuration issue, it would be nice if Suda provided some indication that the system is waiting for a fingerprint to continue with the authentication process.
Additionally, a config option could be provided to allow authentication to succeed using a fingerprint without having to input a password into Suda.

I can confirm that I face the same issue on my end, is there a way to display an indication to the user that a fingerprint is required so that it does not look like nvim is just hung?

Well, my answer is the same: "Need minimal vimrc and reproduction steps."
I don't use "fingerprint" things so I cannot test it. I'm using macOS so I have no idea about Linux things.
