Your password may be too short, try to change it to the one you tried on the terminal with passwd See my report https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459430 (In reply to Marc Guhr from comment #1) > Your password may be too short, try to change it to the one you tried on the > terminal with passwd > See my report https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459430 Just tried the following: 1. Changed password using passwd 2. Tried to set it back using UI 3. Set it back using passwd Still nothing is changed from UI settings but works with passwd. So it doesn't seem to be related to the password length Can you run `systemsettings kcm_users` in a terminal window? Then clear the scrollback with Ctrl+Shift+K. Then change the password. After that, please paste any new output in the terminal window into a comment here. Thanks!

Thanks! No new output appeared. But I noticed the following error on first run, maybe it will help. file:///usr/share/kpackage/kcms/kcm_users/contents/ui/UserDetailsPage.qml:345: ReferenceError: modelData is not defined QFSFileEngine::open: No file name specified kf.coreaddons.desktopparser: Error: Failed to open "" QFileDevice::seek: IODevice is not open Darn. Thanks anyway. Also seen in Kubuntu and Debian: https://bugs.launchpad.net/systemsettings/+bug/1983245 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1016785 Also confirmed on fresh install of the KDE Neon 22.04 preview I wonder if an accountsservice regression might have caused this? I have version 0.6.55 in Fedora. What versions are affected folks using? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #8) > I wonder if an accountsservice regression might have caused this?

What versions are affected folks using? 22.07.5 it seems. https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy-updates/accountsservice Downgrading accountsservice and libaccountsservice0 in the Neon Jammy 22.04 preview to the 0.6.55 from Focal, does seem to fix the issue. (In reply to Rik Mills from comment #9) > Downgrading accountsservice and libaccountsservice0 in the Neon Jammy 22.04 > preview to the 0.6.55 from Focal, does seem to fix the issue. So does doing the same on Kubuntu 22.04 So it looks like there are two options here: 1. It was an unintentional regression in accountsservice that needs to be fixed 2. It was an intentional change in accountsservice (perhaps we were using the API wrong, or using deprecated API) and we need to adapt to it Someone with accountsservice experience will need to investigate or bisect it. It seems that when you try to change the password polkit doesn't ask for authentication and doesn't do anything. if you do something else before, like changing the real name, it authenticates, and from now on, changing the password will work.
