This was with a fresh saucy install (Nov 23 2013). I added a new user using gnome-control-center without setting a password. Then the admin set the password for the user, removing the automatic login toggle. Though, the user remained in the nopasswdlogin group, so it could login without any password. No indication of this was shown in gnome-control-center. By manually removing the user from that group (deluser xxx nopasswdlogin), the issue was resolved for that user.
So this bug report is about not removing the user from the nopasswdlogin group. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/906081 Title: Disabling 'Login without a password' does not remove user from the nopasswdlogin group Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Fresh install of Ubuntu Oneiric. Created a new user account using 'adduser' on the command line, then set 'Login without a password' via 'User Management' in gnome-control-center. After performing some additional initial configuration of the box, went back to 'User Management', disabled 'Login without a password', and configured a password for the user. On subsequent reboots, was still able to login without a password. Tried enabling and disabling 'Login without a password' several times via 'User Management', but eventually had to manually remove the user from the 'nopasswdlogin' group to disable this feature.
