This isn't a security issue, this is a UX issue. Forcing the user to perform an action that is completely unnecessary is bad UX. I understand the security implications and I am willing to click the "I understand the security issues, but I still don't want to be forced to enter a password when I use my device" checkbox if one ever becomes available .
On a side note, my password is 1234. Now that you know my device password, is my device less secure? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1434156 Title: [system-settings] developer mode should not require a password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1434156/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
