What changed in v1.7.7

Security key unlock through its own PAM service, omarchy-lock-fido2, set up once with bash extras/setup-fido2.sh. Boot screens made from a design now follow the display's aspect ratio. A monitor that disconnects when blanked no longer crashes the locked shell in a loop. Groups v1.7.2 to v1.7.7.

Also: Hardened file writes and the boot rotation's root helper; Weather design caps what it reads from wttr.in.

v1.7.7; security key unlock needs a key enrolled through Omarchy's Setup > Security > Fido2.

New things you can do

Tab or the key icon switches between key and password.

AddedUnlock the screen with a FIDO2 security key, with or without its PIN.
