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)
The only setting I can find in my settings panel is automatic detection of my timezone, but that is turned off. Also, I have checked the time in my BIOS, and It’s only off by one hour.
Seems that this is not a common problem, I will probably go with @Strit’s advice and just hope that a reinstall will take care of things (Also, “maybe something on your network is sending incorrect time information” worries me in the same way as @Strit’s comment 😅️)
