[Bug 2016436] [NEW] Calamares will let you set up a user account with no password

 

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Boot the Lubuntu Lunar Final ISO.
2. Install Lubuntu, but when you are asked to provide initial user account details, leave the password blank.
3. Finish the installation.

Expected result: You should be unable to proceed past the user account
creation screen until you provide a password.

Actual result: You can proceed through the installation process without
providing a password. The resulting user account's password will be
entirely blank, allowing you to log in by simply pressing "Enter" at the
SDDM screen. sudo will also work if you simply press "Enter" when asked
for your password.
