Just tried the following:
1. Changed password using passwd
2. Tried to set it back using UI
3. Set it back using passwd

Still nothing is changed from UI settings but works with passwd. So it
doesn't seem to be related to the password length

Can you run `systemsettings kcm_users` in a terminal window?

Then clear the scrollback with Ctrl+Shift+K.

Then change the password.

After that, please paste any new output in the terminal window into a
comment here. Thanks!

No new output appeared. But I noticed the following error on first run,
maybe it will help.

file:///usr/share/kpackage/kcms/kcm_users/contents/ui/UserDetailsPage.qml:345: ReferenceError: modelData is not defined
