not retaining password

[Malachi de AElfweald]

Binary package hint: empathy

NT password changed last week. Every boot now, it tells me my password is incorrect and I have to re-enter/re-apply it for it to work. It is not persisting on Apply.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I also was hit by this. Seems empathy creates multiple password entries in the keychain.
