Bug#782003: general: "choose password at first login" leads to no access
Package: general
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Created new account using the GNOME account manager in "settings".
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Instead of typing and confirming a password for the new user I chose the option
to "choose password at first login".
* What was the outcome of this action?
On the login screen I clicked on the new user's name and entered an initial
password. The system refused access for that new user. It also did this when I
entered a password that is complex enough to be accepted had I used the option
to chosing a password before first login (tried it with the exact password).
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The system lets me choose an initial password for the new user on first login.
