Problem still present in 14.04 LTS A family member inadvertently changed their User Account to "Login without password" and subsequently I was unable to revert this change until I discovered the nopasswdlogin group and manually removed them from that group.

Under System Settings, User Accounts, Passwords, Action, changing to "Login without a password" works as expected. On the next login, LightDM will not prompt you for a password, You can just login by hitting Enter. But, re-enabling password, or changing a password for the same user does not change LightDM behavior. LightDM does not re-enable asking for password at login. I think the problem is re-enabling password under Systems Settings does not delete user from nopasswdlogin group. You have to delete it from the command line: sudo gpasswd -d username nopasswdlogin This problem is the same ones described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11566335 http://askubuntu.com/questions/211084/how-do-i-get-ubuntu-to-ask-me- for-at-password-at-login-again/281615#281615 http://askubuntu.com/questions/100010/no-password-asked-at-login- screen-just-start-session-button-with-lightdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1169054/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
