--- Comment #5 from Jasper Jongmans <jasper.jongmans+...@gmail.com> ---
I can confirm the same issue on KDE 5.12.3.
Normally pam_ecryptfs will rewrap the mount passphrase on a login password
change, so long as it is done by a tool that uses PAM. By design it cannot do
so if the old password is not known as it needs to unwrap (decrypt) the mount
passphrase first. Although User Manager does ask for the current password, this
seems to be the generic prompt to elevate privileges. I suspect User Manager
executes the password change as root passing only the new password, leaving
PAM_OLDAUTHTOK empty and breaking pam_ecryptfs.
