Public bug reported:
When the screen is locked by running the gnome-screensaver, if you input
your password, and close the lid to suspend, the password will be
remembered.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) Lock Screen (Ctrl+Alt+L)
2) Type your password, but do NOT press Enter.
3) Close the laptop's lid. This will suspend that laptop.
4) Wake up laptop from suspend
5) Password that was typed in step 2) is still remembered.
WHAT DO I EXPECT TO HAPPEN:
4) Wake-up from suspend
5) Re-type password (password should not be remembered)
Now, this could be a trouble since there might be a day when you were
about to unlock the screen so you typed your password. however, you
changed your mind and closed the lid. Unfortunately, any person that
opens the lid and waking up from suspend will be able to login since the
password was remembered by gnome-screensaver.
This seem to only happen in Ubuntu 12.04
