Bug Description

In Ubuntu Noble, I install authd 0.2.1, switch to a different TTY and try to log in.

I enter my user name and I am asked

> 1: local

I click <Enter> and am asked for the password. After entering it I expect to eventually get a shell, but after installing Authd I can wait minutes and end up with nothing (as if it were validating the password).

If I enter wrong credentials I get "login incorrect" and a new user name prompt, which is the correct behavior.

I get the same question asked when using 'sudo' but there it works.

I don't think that can be, I had no display manager in my test.
