Same for me and confirmed for:
- openSUSE-Tumbleweed-20191016
- openSUSE-15.1
- KDE NEON (18.04 unstable 2019-10-15)
Which password is being required actually depends on the OS (e.g. Linux
distribution).
In general KDE requires root access, which is clearly unnecessary.
But for distributions which work "sudo" based, using the users own password to
authenticate for root permissions, the users password is asked for. And that's
the same what "passwd" need to change the users own password.
So clearly KDE shouldn't need to authenticate for root permissions here.
And because of that, it's always the users old password which should be asked
for and not the password which is needed to authenticate for root permissions
(regardless if it's a "sudo" based OS or not).
