Screenshot of PolicyKit popup

Trying to change my password from the configuration panel (Plasma > System Settings > Personal Settings > Users > Ceaus > Change Password) I'm getting a popup from PolicyKit, indicating that root is needed to change my own password password.

Requiring root to change my own password obviously is quite backwards.

Still present in Leap 15.5.

See attached screenshot.
