I'm not sure this will catch all the instances of this, would it make more sense to check if there's a mapping from SSO auth provider to this user?

In particular, I think many admins run with passwords completely disabled, and not specifically the localdb passwords disabled.

IMO this not the best solution. But this is like set_password is implemented.

synapse/synapse/handlers/set_password.py

Lines 37 to 45 in 1baab20

async def set_password(
self,
user_id: str,
password_hash: str,
logout_devices: bool,
requester: Optional[Requester] = None,
) -> None:
if not self.hs.config.password_localdb_enabled:
raise SynapseError(403, "Password change disabled", errcode=Codes.FORBIDDEN)

To improve it, we have also change the check in set_password.

After further conversation in #synapse-dev:matrix.org, I suspect that this should check self.hs.config.password_enabled and self.hs.config.password_localdb_enabled since that is the only time it makes sense to set a password.

raise SynapseError(
400, "Must provide a password to re-activate an account."
