Can you please elaborate what this is about in the description of this ticket?

#2 Updated by alant 2018-04-15 21:12:04

The idea was to explain that the password asked is the “Admin password” set in the greeter. I don’t think this is actually part of the deliverable for ASP.

  • QA Check set to Info Needed

I don’t know what to do with this ticket. I won’t have time to do that as port of ASP unless we decide it’s a priority.

I did some quick research and failed to see a way to change the prompt without patching polkit.
