This is a consistent issue I am having when switching between keyboard layouts.
My password has numerals in it and when using the `cs` layout those get substituted by unicode characters. When I don't realise that I am on the wrong keyboard layout and enter a sudo password wrong it will always Sorry, try again. afterwards for the correct password regardless of the layout.
This is persistent across all existing or new terminals.
Doing a reboot always resolves this issue.
Any idea on how to debug this?

I remember there was a change in some default config that made it so your account gets locked for a certain amount of time if you make a mistake three times within fifteen minutes or so. I don't know if that change was in the PAM config somewhere or in the sudo config.

Wow, thank you, don't know what I was googling before but running
faillock --reset
as my user resolves this issue.
