Ahhh...  That's expected then.  The wizard can't override the password
you set via u-d-f.  Arguably it should show a nice UI warning to that
effect, so people know what's up.  Otherwise we keep getting reports
like this.

Title:
  Setting a PIN can result in a passphrase instead

Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu RTM:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  It's happened to me a few times that even though I selected passcode
  (4 digit) as my lock (e.g. in the wizard), I was still presented with
  a full keyboard in the lockscreen.

  I'm worried that for someone it might result in the opposite,
  rendering the phone inaccessible because you can't type your
  passphrase with a pin-pad.

  We either need to improve robustness of the setting (ideally storing
  the lick type next to the password itself in PAM somehow?) or allow
  switching to a full keyboard entry in the passcode lockscreen.
