OK, I was messing with the configs and removing the fprintd lines ``` auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so ``` And the offending file was the `/etc/pam.d/system-local-login`. I removed those lines to have the vanilla authentication and it worked! However, I put the lines back and it also worked like before. I guess if you have this same issue in the tty's, you can change that file to see what can be done. **NOTE THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE ROOT SESSION OPEN WHEN YOU CHANGE THESE FILES OR YOU WILL LOCK YOURSELF OUT**.
