Hi,

I will try but then the session keyring won't be unlocked at login and it can 
complicate things afterwards 
(just speculating, and needs to be tried). What I would like is bypass gdm 
login screen when switching 
between open sessions. Something like that :

1 - I'm connected and the only connected user. My wife wants to connect. She 
chooses "switch user ...", 
gdm appears and she connects.
2 - Then I want to go back to my session. Below or above "switch user ...", 
there's a list of already 
connected users. I choose my name and I'm back to my session (locked or 
unlocked, it depends on the locking settings I choose).

Or ideally, a static list of fast-switching-users is always displayed (possibly 
with a check indicating if it's already 
connected or not). You only have to choose your name in the list. If you are 
already connected (or with 
password-less login), it switches to/opens directly your session, else it opens 
gdm with the right user already 
selected and you only have to type your password in.

I don't think this bypasses any security thing, it just eases switching between 
sessions.

Do you think it could fit into the actual design? Is it possible with an 
extension?

And thanks for your suggestions.

Hi, 



I wouldn’t run passwd –d username, that will allow anyone to remote into your 
machine with no password unless I’m mistaking... There is an option somewhere 
to allow password-less logins on the UI, I’d use that if I were you. 



Cheers, 

Gabriel
