Description
My user account was set to be encrypted using the installer and I tried to change the password using the user accounts plug.
This appeared to work until I restarted when logging in with the new password caused Greeter to fade out and back in again and the password entry field shook when I entered my old password.
I've now used the rescue shell to reset my password to the old one so I need no advice in how to get out of this situation.
It would be nice if this was fixed so I can change my password on an encrypted account, but please at least refuse to change passwords for encrypted accounts.
