Bug Description
[ Impact ]
This bug didn't affect current focal, but we still prefer to test it to ensure we're not regressing while fixing LP: #1865838.
This bug is for the login package. This only affects users of the development release and does not affect stable users. The bug in the password entry causes either the password to be entered only for the login to hang, or when attempting to enter the password, the computer quickly deletes any characters entered as if backspace was being held therefore preventing a user from being able to log in.
[ Test case ]
- In a system with a fingerprint reader supported by fprintd:
Try to login in GDM using password authentication with an user that
has NO enrolled fingerprints
- Logging in should be possible, and so unlocking the screen
[ Regression potential ]
Impossible to login with authentication methods that expose them as unavailable.
