Description

Does Howdy work with your eyes closed? I don't see any configuration options for it.

Windows Hello does work with your eyes closed and that's a bad thing. If Howdy can prevent logins with your eyes closed then it would be more secure than Windows Hello and that should be stated as a feature.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the facial recognition code to understand if it currently distinguishes between open and closed eyes. Then implement a configuration option to require eyes open for unlock.
