Greeter: Password check doesn't work when changing first entry
Originally created by @mercedes508 on #13447 (Redmine)
In Tails 3.0.1 (and previous), at Greeter, when setting an administration password the following way, you don’t get any error message, but can’t get and admin terminal neither:
Procedure
=
- go to the admin password part of the Greeter
- in the first field type your password, but wrongly (let’s say “possword”)
- in the second field type the right one (let’s say “password”)
You get a notice that it doesn’t match
- change the password in the first field to the right one (“password”)
You get a notice that it matches
- Start Tails
Result
==
Can’t open/use an admin password.
