[Bug 1812095] Re: console login loop after entering username followed by RETURN

[Thomas Schweikle]

Setting the password again you'll have a login, but you cant type in
your password. After typing your login name followed by RETURN password
is immediately left. Looks like the entered RETURN is kept and all
subsequent calls see RETURN and just quit.
