Public bug reported:

I am using 12.04.

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:
