Really? I selected the user's account in that pop-up, but we were still asked for a password when logging in (see my original post). We were never asked for a password when I set this, though I found it already set and did not try changing it to "none" and then back. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to have physical access to the machine in question since we were both students at a guide dog school and class has since ended.
