Description a.m.wollmarker 2020-03-26 23:28:20 UTC 
SUMMARY

If a completely unprivileged user wants to change his own password via the KDE settings, he will be asked for the admin password for confirmation.

However, the console command "passwd" can be used without it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Goes to the system settings

2. Goes ti User accounts

3. Tries to change the own password without root

OBSERVED RESULT

You will be asked to confirm the root password.

EXPECTED RESULT

It should be possible without root password for itself.
