Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible, including any errors and traces
I'm running XFCE4 on Arch using GDM as the display manger, it works perfectly there, and when I sign into gnome it works flawlessly. However in an XFCE session the lock screen doesn't respect the pam settings. Every other kind of authentication does (ex: sudo, gsudo, ect ect..) does just not the lock screen. I've added the line for howdey in all the lightdm pam files as well as the xfce4 screensaver pam file, and I'm not sure where else I can look for settings.

Thank you

I've searched for similar issues already, and my issue has not been reported yet.

Linux distribution (if applicable): Arch Linux

Howdy version: Unsure, might be a version or two behind.

I have the same issue in xfce4 over xubuntu 20.04.

The /var/log/auth.log show that:

Same on cinnamon-screensaver. Commenting out all "pamh.conversation" lines fixes this.

Same on arch lightdm xfce4. Howdy works on lightdm, but not on xflock.
