Title:
Login screen reuses last written password after user selection
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gnome-shell source package in Bionic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
Login could be delayed while a loging with a wrong password could be
retried.
See the screencast https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-
shell/uploads/9e74e74b81ef4d986a77b728e010af37/out.webm
See upstream issue https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-
shell/issues/311
1. Try to login up to `allowed-failures` defined with a positive value and
using wrong password
2. Continue writing a password as soon as the interface is sensitive again
3. The interface will go back to user selection
4. Select your user and gdm will try to start the authentication
[ Test case ]
1. Try to login using a wrong password (assuming `allowed-failures` setting
is default)
2. Continue writing a password as soon as the interface is sensitive again
3. The interface will go back to user selection
4. Select your user again
5. The password field is active and you can properly write the password with
no wait
[ Regression potential ]
Login questions which might have been already requested on more
complex pam configurations could not be properly handled (requesting
answers again).
Login/Unlock retries could not be handled properly.
