Public bug reported:
I wrote a script to add users for family & friends who are here
frequently https://github.com/Mikaela/scripts/blob/gh-
pages/bash/addusers .
Part of it deletes the password and expired it (`passwd -de $user`) . It
appears that SDDM doesn't either understand passwordless accounts or
expired passwords as it only gives "login failure". LightDM again tells
"you must change your password (root enforced)" and prompts for new
password the first time user attempts logging in without password and I
believe SDDM should do something similar too.
