After updates this morning, any task that prompts for an administrative password "enter your password to perform administrative tasks" ((ex. Update Manager) is not accepting my password and responds with "Incorrect password... try again"
I changed my password and still get the same results. Launching the programs from an already elevated shell lets me use them normally as they no longer ask for a password.
To reproduce on my system.
1. Open terminal and run "gksudo gedit"
2. Enter Password
3. Receive "incorrect password" message
