Title:
  Edge case while using `passwd` cmd

Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I was changing my sudo password to a new password and this is what
  happened:

  ```
  ~$ sudo passwd
  New password: 
  BAD PASSWORD: The password is shorter than 8 characters
  Retype new password: 
  passwd: password updated successfully

  ```

  - I tried to use the new sudo password and this happened:

  ```
  $ sudo vi /etc/passwd
  [sudo] password for ... : 
  Sorry, try again.
  [sudo] password for ... : 
  Sorry, try again.

  ```

  The old password worked, meaning that we have incorrect logging when a
  short password is entered twice.
