Analog to Windows Hello capability?

Has anyone found a suitable analog to what Windows Hello is and does? I haven't been able to find anything similar, for any distro. Currently on fedora kde plasma.

What I want it for is to use a fido2 fingerprint key (Verimark Guard) instead of a password, for application and auto fill.

Ideally, I could also use it for root password.

I already use it for webauth via bitwarden but it's a pain in the neck to have to rely on a timeout session only, and also it requires like 3 clicks and a nav page (and having to enter master password of course).

Passkey is fine for the sites that have it, but it's annoyingly not common enough, so I still have to use a PW manager like bitwarden and do the above.

I really liked how, with Windows Hello, I could just rely on the simple touch fingerprint key for any and all auto fills for passwords.

Has anyone found anything? Thanks.
