Yes, passwords are the same. Here is my gdm file, the identical entries 
are at the end:

#%PAM-1.0
auth       required    pam_env.so
auth       include     system-auth
account    required    pam_nologin.so
account    include     system-auth
password   include     system-auth
session    optional    pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session    include     system-auth
session    required    pam_loginuid.so
session    optional    pam_console.so
# added to prevent NetworkManager second login
auth optional pam_keyring.so try_first_pass
session optional pam_keyring.so
