Hi all! On home computers, people often want to log in without password at all. This should be possible, and easy to configure. The problem is, you need a password to connect using ssh, to have sudo rights, to protect others from setting a new password...
I suggest to allow to log in without typing any password, but only via GDM (just like Autologin does automatically). Users enter a password when creating their account, and it's used when necessary (see up). But GDM config panel allows to choose a "passwordless login" for some users (like we choose showed users on face browser). Together with the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnifiedLoginUnlock spec, this will make Ubuntu usable for home users. Currently, I have to hack /etc/pam.d and /etc/shadow to allow my parents to login without password: this is a real lack compared to Windows ! What do you think ?
