I like that version better than mine, so commited it[1], and re-ran the test to give a screenshot: https://openqa.debian.net/tests/239766#step/passwords/1 > Maybe instead of saying "use the system's initial user account to > become root" it should say "allow the system's initial user account > to gain administrative privileges"?
