Hi Phandom, I have a new issue now:

~$ sudo howdy test
Face detection timeout reached

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/howdy", line 109, in
import cli.test
File "/lib/security/howdy/cli/test.py", line 66, in
cv2.setMouseCallback("Howdy Test", mouse)
cv2.error: OpenCV(4.3.0) /io/opencv/modules/highgui/src/window_QT.cpp:717: error: (-27:Null pointer) NULL window handler in function 'cvSetMouseCallback'

This is what I got and I couldn't login to my account before as well

sudo howdy test command is only for testing if camera works.
Now, you have to add a face model for user.
run
sudo howdy add
you add at least 2 face model...so you are more secure that howdy works.

forgot say make a reboot could help you
