pantheon-greeter still presents a password box even after disabling the password on an account

[Charlie Carter]

After disabling the password on a user account, the greeter still prompts you to enter a password. This is purely aesthetic, though, leaving the box blank and just proceeding as normal works fine. However, I feel like if the password is no longer required, the greeter should not be asking for one.

If the password is disabled, the entry should probably become insensitive.

Just making sure, you were able to recreate it? Sorry, just want to be certain I'm not just being a moron.

This is also true for the Guest session, which obviously doesn't need a password.

This is not in the lightdm API, so we would need a ugly workaround fox fixing this, i think that's luna+1 stuff.

I am just wondering how Ubuntu does it.

Also, since it looks like you tried to move it back to the beta3 milestone, but it no longer exists, should this be moved to the rc1 milestone?

This is a bug for after Luna due to its low priority.
