Cannot acces Chromebook with new password

Problem

When trying to access a Chromebook you get prompted for the old password.

Environment

  • Chrome OS
  • Login 

Solution

This is an expected behavior when trying to sign in on a local profile after changing the password for your account if the customer has not correctly configured a third party Identity provider (SSO).

Example: In Azure you can Sync ChromeOS passwords using Change Password Notifier for Azure Active Directory . Chrome OS will always request the old password to give you access to the local data for that account on that device. 

Workaround:
If you do not have the old password you can Remove an account from a Chromebook and sign in again.
