Bug Description
I am using 12.04.
Under System Settings, User Accounts, Passwords, Action, changing to "Login without a password" works as expected. On the next login, LightDM will not prompt you for a password, You can just login by hitting Enter.
But, re-enabling password, or changing a password for the same user does not change LightDM behavior. LightDM does not re-enable asking for password at login.
I think the problem is re-enabling password under Systems Settings does not delete user from nopasswdlogin group. You have to delete it from the command line:
sudo gpasswd -d username nopasswdlogin
This problem is the same ones described here:
