## Prerequisites
You need to have deployed the authentik Agent on the Linux device, see [Deploy the authentik Agent on Linux](../../agent-deployment/linux.mdx) for more details.
## How it works
- authentik Agent is integrated with the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) framework on the Linux device.
- The end user logs in via the usual Linux login screen but are prompted for their authentik credentials.
- The Agent authenticates the credentials against the authentik server and the user is logged in.
## How to log in to a Linux device
:::note
When configured correctly, when logging in you should see a prompt for **authentik Password** rather than just **Password**.
:::
1. On the Linux login screen, you enter your authentik credentials.
2. Once authenticated, you will be logged in to the Linux device.
## Known issues
- Only Webauthn MFA is supported.
- On non-Debian Linux distributions, you currently need to [manually configure NSS and PAM](../../agent-deployment/linux.mdx#local-device-login-on-non-debian-systems).
