I’ve run passwd
and sudo su; passwd
to change password for root and my account. Password is set correctly when using sudo
and su
but whenever I get prompted by pkexec
it accepts only the old password. I’ve rebooted my system to make sure it was not an issue.
Edit:
Solved
Turns out the password were changed for root account but not my user account. I think the reason is that there are no password quality requirements on root accounts, but there are on the default account in ubuntu. Changing the password from root account passwd user
worked fine.
@Agility0971 Why didn’t passwd tell you the regular user password wasn’t actually changed? Isn’t that a much bigger issue?
hahaha It actually did, I found out shortly after initially posting this. I’m constantly reminded that I haven’t learned reading yet (documentation, datasheets, terminal output etc…)
