I enter my password, and it tells me that I “need to change my password immediately”. It won’t let me use my account, unless I type in a new password or enter the old password 10 times or so.
After repeatedly entering the old password, it will eventually unlock my screen. However, the system date increases by a few hundred years and wifi stops working. Everything turns back to normal after rebooting.
This hasn’t happened for a while now, but it used to happen every few weeks. I find it really strange, both the system date and wifi bug, and the fact that I am demanded to change my password.
Did this happen to anyone else, and does anyone know what and who might have caused this? I am curious.
(The distro is debian 12 and the lock-screen/desktop-environment is GNOME 43.6)
I only remember this happening after locking my screen and later trying to unlock the screen again.
EDIT: I am not sure about how old the system is, but I would say definitely not older than 6 months.
