Bug Description
The password field in the Unity greeter does not have a button to log in: the user must press Enter / Return, instead. There are many users in the world who prefer to click a button after typing their password. It is particularly irksome because GDM (including what was shipped in 11.04) and the other LightDM greeters include clickable Login buttons beside their password fields, so we're missing something users may have come to expect.

I have to agree with Dylan on this. I work in IT, and, after seeing many people login, it is about 60/40 that a user clicks a control button instead of pressing enter. Even I sometimes get tripped up by the lack of a button in lightdm.
