This bug was fixed in the package gnome-shell - 49~beta.1-0ubuntu3
---------------
gnome-shell (49~beta.1-0ubuntu3) questing; urgency=medium
* Revert "d/p: Keep support being started via legacy desktop file"
GNOME Shell now can start only via newer gnome-session (>= 49~beta), backed
by systemd, but we do not depend on it technically, so it's just better to
break that.
* d/control: Add a Breaks on older gnome and ubuntu sessions.
As per the fallback .desktop file removal, gnome shell requires newer
gnome session or ubuntu session.
However, this is not a dependency, so let's just instruct apt to update
the shell together with a newer version of the session
* d/p/ubuntu-authd: Do not fail verification on PAM error messages.
We used to mimic the old behavior of gnome shell, by failing on any PAM
error message, this is breaking PAM stacks where a module fails with a
non-fatal error though, such as when a password change is required or
when authd is not reachable for whatever reason. (LP: #2120634)
* d/p/ubuntu/snapd-prompting-extension: Remove linting not required files.
And also move the patch into the ubuntu namespace
* d/p: Add more complete re-implementation of Gio.DesktopAppInfo
* d/p: Cherry-pick upstream quicksettings connections to enterprise AP fix
(LP: #2120331)

Title:
[authd] GDM does not show password expiration or offer password change
functionality.
Status in Authd:
New
Status in authd package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
If a user's password is expired like so:
sudo chage -d 0 username
or
sudo passwd -e username
On a login attempt at gdm:
* no message or prompt is shown that the password is expired and needs to be
changed, with fields offered to change the password
* login screen is shown again
Possible workarounds I'm looking at are:
* disable gdm service, force user to change pw at cli, re-enable gdm, this
makes it difficult for end user
* change user default session to something very minimal, show zenity prompts
to change password after login
