Hi Carmen,

I’m 90% sure the string is from the PAM project, which you can
translate at https://fedora.zanata.org/project/view/linux-pam

It would be great for GDM to stop using PAM’s strings, though, as it
is seldom updated and released, and also has bugs that are not fixed
for years (https://github.com/linux-pam/linux-pam/issues/29).

Best regards,
