Repeatedly prompted to change password on every ssh login












0















I have a VPS with Ubuntu 18.04 on it.



On every successful login with user root, i get prompted:



Changing password for root.
(current) UNIX password:
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
root@ubuntu...*:~#


When I check the expiration date of the password:



root@ubuntu...*:~# chage -l root
Last password change : Jan 30, 2019
Password expires : never
Password inactive : never
Account expires : never
Minimum number of days between password change : 0
Maximum number of days between password change : 14600
Number of days of warning before password expires : 14


What is wrong? I want to choose a permanent password.

          Ups moment.



          The Reason for this, is another open ssh session all this time. By closing that, password reset requests stopped.
