      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      The /etc/grub.d/01_users tends to indicate that superusers variable can be multi-valued, hence different user names may be used to authenticate.
      The Grub code also tends to indicate this.
      However, the current implementation of password_pbkdf2 only supports passing one username exactly.
      Is that expected?

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      Low impact, just an admin question.
