Q: Is LockLess really 100% offline? A: Yes! All biometric processing happens locally on your device. No data is sent to external servers.
Q: How does it compare to Windows Hello? A: LockLess offers similar functionality with better privacy, cross-platform support, and open-source transparency.
Q: Can I use it on multiple devices? A: Yes, you can enroll the same user on multiple devices. Each device maintains its own encrypted templates.
Q: What if I forget my password? A: You can reset your account by deleting the user and re-enrolling, but this will require re-enrollment.
Q: What camera resolution is recommended? A: 640x480 or higher works well. The system automatically adjusts quality based on available resolution.
Q: Can I use it without a camera? A: No, LockLess requires a camera for face detection and authentication.
Q: Does it work in low light? A: Yes, but performance may be reduced. Good lighting conditions provide the best results.
Q: Can I customize the authentication thresholds? A: Yes, all thresholds can be adjusted in the configuration file.
Q: How are my biometric data protected? A: All biometric templates are encrypted with AES-256 and stored locally. The encryption key is derived from your password.
Q: Can someone access my biometric data? A: No, without your password, the encrypted templates are useless. The system uses industry-standard encryption.
Q: What happens if my device is compromised? A: Even if someone gains access to your device, they cannot decrypt your biometric templates without your password.
Q: Does LockLess support TPM? A: Yes, on systems with TPM available, LockLess can use it for additional security.
Q: Camera not detected? A: Check if other applications are using the camera. Try different camera IDs or update drivers.
Q: Authentication fails frequently? A: Ensure good lighting, clean camera lens, and try re-enrolling with better quality samples.
Q: System runs slowly? A: Check system resources, enable GPU acceleration if available, or reduce image resolution.
Q: GUI doesn't start? A: Ensure PyQt5 is installed and check the logs for specific error messages.
- Camera not detected: Check camera permissions and try different camera IDs
- Poor image quality: Ensure good lighting and clean camera lens
- Camera access denied: Grant camera permissions to the application
- Slow authentication: Enable GPU acceleration or reduce image resolution
- High memory usage: Close other applications or reduce concurrent users
- System freezing: Check system resources and update drivers
- Face not detected: Improve lighting and positioning
- Liveness detection fails: Ensure you're not using a photo/video
- Biometric match fails: Try re-enrolling with better quality samples
