I recently decided to change the password on my Ubuntu 19.10 account on my laptop. When I did however, I suddenly had this message popping up saying that I had to enter the password for my 'login key' as it did not unlock. I put in the new password which it would not accept.
I tried ignoring this until it kept popping up more and more. Especially when opening Chrome browser. I found some instructions online telling me to go through 'seahorse' and change it there. This did not work and also, Chrome started forgetting my passwords and not logging me in automatically. A long story short, I had to use Timeshift to go back to before I tried changing my password. This fixed it but I am now back to having my old password which I have had for a while and is probably a security risk now because I have had it for so long.
Is there any easier work around to changing the password? I don't remember it being this difficult on previous versions of Ubuntu so why has it changed?
