Public bug reported:
Ubiquity makes it easy to create a new user account that logs in
automatically without the need to enter a password. However, once a user
_uses_ this account for a while, many well-behaved applications (such as
Network Manager, Nautilus and Google Chrome) will want to store
passwords and retrieve passwords from the login keyring. With a laptop
connecting to a secure wifi network, this means a user is logged in
automatically but will need to enter a password within five seconds to
connect to the network. That is arguably worse, for most users, than
just typing a password at the login screen.
It would be a huge improvement for Ubiquity to set a blank keyring
password in this case, along with a note explaining that automatic login
disables secure password storage. Without automatic login, of course,
the login keyring should stay as it is, encrypted with the user's
password.
