What is the significance of the field below the passcode/password field on the new lock screen panel? Would you use it to change your password?

Environment

Release: NVINAM00200-5.4-TPX-Session Management-Access Management package
Component:

Resolution

The new TEN1023 lock panel was introduced with the lock reverification enhancement: RO94337 (Base) & RO94338 (English panels). The new process involves reverifying against security and userid is an output field so that it cannot be changed by a user to gain access to a locked session.
Since we support password phrase with two 50-character fields on the LOGO panel, we now provide the same on this lock panel.

You cannot change your password on this panel.
