Ok, I just found out that the new accounts are using the admin password, even though I set (multiple times) another password). Bug maybe?

3

I have verified this. It’s not possible, without logging out from the other session, unless you create a new window. But is this considered a bug? I don’t think so.

4

I’m sorry, which part? Altering the password or loging into another account via anonymous tab?

I created and altered the user password here:

Then I opened an anonymous tab and it offered to login again. I tried with user arthur and the new password. It didn’t work. So I tried with my admin password and it worked. That’s what I’m finding strange.

5

Yes, this sounds indeed very strange. I think I did exactly the same as you did. But here it worked as expected (Firefox).

Did you see the yellow notification on top, something like “Password successfully set”?

6

Hmm… not that I remember.

BTW, it delays for like 1 second after hitting “create”. Is that normal? Maybe there is the issue.

7

I don’t think that this one second is a problem, as the creation of new users works. But the password change, the lack of the notification, there is something wrong. Maybe you should skim the owncloud.log for that.

8

I just hit this same problem - newly created users are created with the password for the original admin account, despite entering and re-entering many times different password. It is not a browser issue - I used an entirely different PC for testing the new user logins. This discussion is 5 months old, but this is happening with an Ownlcoud install done yesterday.

This is known. There is a fix already submitted waiting to be included. Meanwhile, either use safari or edge browser, or make your browser not to remember any password.

This is working for me without problems in 10.2.1 The admin can set a new password anytime from the users page.
