1.1 launch "user accounts panel" in unity-control-center
1.2 Click "Unlock" at the top right, and enter the user's password.
1.3. Click the dots to the right of "Password", to open the dialog where you
can change the password mode.
1.4 In the combo box at the top, select "Log in without a password". Save the
dialog.
1.5 Open a terminal, and execute `grep nopasswdlogin /etc/group'. Note that
the current user is present.
2. log out, and confirm password is not needed to login.
3. launch launch "user accounts panel" in unity-control-center again.
4. change the login user's password
Expected behavior
1. new user password is set without any warning message.
Current behavior
1. system prompt "Authentication is required to change user data", and the only
way out is press cancel.
2. after press cancel, new user password is set, but the user is still in
"nopasswdlogin" group. (checked by `grep nopasswdlogin /etc/group`)
Note: this is still reproducible even use the new unity-control-center
in LP: #1630156.
