Howdy working for sudo authentication but not for login

[haji-ali]

I am getting an Unknown error: 1 when I try to login with howdy. However authenticating sudo works as expected. Looking into /var/log/auth.log, I see the following log

Apr 15 09:21:22 thinkpad /lib/security/howdy/pam.py[27348]: Traceback (most recent call last):

Apr 15 09:21:22 thinkpad /lib/security/howdy/pam.py[27348]: PamException: Conversation error

Any idea how to resolve this?
I've searched for similar issues already, and my issue has not been reported yet.

Linux distribution (if applicable): Ubuntu

Howdy version: 2.5.1
