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: 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 ** Affects: accountsservice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1169054 Title: Disabling then Re-Enabling login without password does remove user from nopasswdlogin group To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1169054/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
