It looks like we'll need to do some code-writing here to support this. I'll let you know once I have something to test :)

Hello,
              When a user tries to change their own password, KDE asks for root permission to change the password.  When the same user tries to change their password from the freebsd terminal (outside of KDE and Xorg), it does not ask for the root permission.  How can a user change their password through KDE without needing root permission?
              I am running KDE5 and FreeBSD 12 (both updated today)

              Thanks,
                            Jeff
