** Description changed:

  On Kubuntu 22.04 even with "Kubuntu Backports" PPA I can't change
  password because dialog which asks elevated rights (sudo/root password)
  doesn't appear
  
  How to reproduce:
  1) Go to System Settings > Users
  2) Click "Change password" and enter new password
  
  What should happen:
  1) After click on button "Set Password" user is asked for administrator password
  2) User is notified that it's better to change Kwaller password as well
  
  What currently happens:
- 1) Dialog disappear without any error (I didn't even see anything unusual on a terminal output)
- 2) User is not informed about KWallet
+ 1) Dialog closes
+ 2) No warning about KWallet
  3) Password doesn't change
  
  If I launch systemsettings with elevated rights
  Like
  pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5 KDE_FULL_SESSION=true systemsettings5 kcm_users
  or
  sudo systemsettings5 kcm_users
  
- Password changes.
+ Password changes but KWallet warning doesn't appear
  
- I tried it on a clean install inside virtual machine.
+ I tried it on a clean "minimal" install inside virtual machine.
  I also tried openSUSE Leap 15.4 (which also has KDE Plasma 5.24) and password change works there.
