Description

**Describe the bug**
Describe what your problem is.

**To Reproduce**
1. Install Multipass on Windows11.
2. Open Command Prompt or PowerShell with administrator privileges.
3. Run `multipass set local.passphrase`.
4. It prompts to authenticate with `multipass authenticate`.
5. When I run `multipass authenticate`, it prompts to set the passphrase again.

**Expected behavior**
I expected to be able to set the passphrase and authenticate successfully without encountering a loop.

**Logs**
Please provide logs from the daemon, see [accessing logs](https://canonical.com/multipass/docs/accessing-logs) on where to find them on your platform.

**Additional info**
- OS: Windows11 professional or Windows10 professional
- `multipass version`
1.14.1 and 1.15.0
- `multipass info`

- `multipass get local.driver`

Research direction

Reproduce on Windows 10 or 11 with Multipass 1.14.1 and 1.15.0 by running `multipass set local.passphrase` followed by `multipass authenticate`. First collect the daemon logs using the linked accessing-logs documentation and compare the authentication behavior; done means the passphrase can be set and authentication completes without looping.
