Same problem oocured with me today
sudo pacman -Syu. It asked for password. Everytime i enter, it was “incorrect”
And after
?
After faillock reset it started to work again
Weird bug through, this is first time i encountered on any linux distro
I’ve had it on Arch, Manjaro and Fedora, so it’s not Arch-specific.
i found which program is doing this(bug) on my system
its BAUH package manager
after installing it on another enOS setup
same problem occurs again
pamac does the same, I just tested with
a startup script with ( actually I just reinstalled pamac for this test )
yes | pamac update -a
and after I skip the script witch ctrl-c a few times,
the password is locked, then faillock --reset
unlocks it again.
Not a bug. You enter a password incorrectly three times and it locks the account.
Type the sudo password incorrectly three times (or press CTRL-C three times) and it locks you out from sudo.
My friend, i had entered password correcty,
And i had also tested this on another machine with fresh installation of enOS
This is not a coincidence
You can also replicate this
Just download latest iso of enOS
Install with Gnome EndeavourOS with BTRFS
Then install bauh package manager
Run it
Boom
Problem occurs
Works for me. Start bauh, it prompts for my password, I enter it correctly, bauh works. 
Which de are you on? And also i am using gnome with BTRFS
I realize that it is a security feature, I get that, have no problem
with that any further,
just did not know about this security measure. All OK for me now…
Bauh should be DE and filesystem agnostic. So no matter what DE or filesystem you are using, if this is a bug then it should be reproducible.
I knw that
But we are talking about replicating the problem
I got the same problem with two different machines
In which enos Gnome has been installed
So if Bauh is working on @jonathon’s end ( I think he uses Mate) then the bug is not in Bauh as you seem to think. If it is a Gnome thing, then you need to address that somehow.
Yes, u r right
It may be Gnome specific issue

But i just love Gnome 40 ui
Just use a GUI package manager for browsing the packages.
I reiterate what many have already said: the sooner you learn to handle the package managemnt via terminal the better.
You really need just a couple of commands to get started. If you really like to use Arch you will need to learn how the package management is done “The Arch Way”.
Start by reading ArchWiki’s pacman pages and practice one command at a time.
