IMHO, checking password does not secure your data, an intruder still
can boot to runlevel 3, or boot from any live USB key and mount your
home directory to get your data.  However, if your system contains
multiple user accounts, you could set to boot with gdm in
/etc/sysconfig/desktop, install additional gdm-user-switch-applet and
gnome-session packages, and set the AutomaticLoginEnable=false in
/etc/gdm/custom.conf, to enable the login dialog at session start.
FYI.
