I'm wondering if anyone other than me has, while doing a clean install of High Sierra, been asked to create & verify new Admin passwords - NOT authenticate with existing ones - before migration of account data would proceed?

I can't even begin to hazard a wild guess why Apple would have instituted this new behavior.

Anybody?

Thanks.

More: And this just occurred to me: Why would macOS allow ONE user to change the Admin passwords for TWO accounts without authenticating?
