There is a program called Howdy, which is like Windows Hello. It uses face data as authentication.
[Howdy Github Repository][1]

If you own a Logitech Brio or other camera with Windows Hello compatibility, Howdy will work perfectly.
Howdy is better than windows hello though. It has a serious advantage while you are running it in linux; any time you would need to type in your password, howdy will verify with your camera. You won't have to type your password in for any authentication on your linux machine even on command line!
