Hello,

If a user password is changed in systemsettings, root authorisation is requested willfully, with a UI text confirming that it’s mandatory even if it’s the user password being updated.

No such request is made when doing that in a terminal and that's well within reach of any Arch user.

It has been discussed at:

  https://discuss.kde.org/t/change-user-password-in-settings-root-authorisation-requested/32524

It seems that it might be distribution related.

I am not asking for any change in Arch itself, and would like to read opinions of Arch maintainers about that.

Thanks and regards.
