Bug Description

Today morning my device started to ask for some password. I have no idea what password it is, and for what it is required/used. I've never seen that dialog before, but since today morning it pops up every 5 minutes.

See attached screenshot.

What's the reason for seeding policykit-unity8 on the touch images?

The reason we seeded it was just to start getting ready for the multi-user convergence cases, figuring it was mostly a no-op. Seeming like that isn't the case...
