Bug Description

If I choose autologin I want the computer to load without any questions and I willingly compromise my security on that machine. In Ubuntu though after autologin I have to write the password TWICE (once for Ubuntu One, the second one probably for Update Manager) instead of once when logging normally.
Posibble solution: make an indicator for Unity that shows that entering password is required for unblocking Ubuntu One and Update Manager and don't block everything until I write them.

have you already set an empty password for the "login" keyring? have you then tried adding the entries for ubuntu one to the login keyring (if it's not there already). does either of these help?

But I don't want empty keyring password. I just think that asking password should be deferred (is that a good word?) so I could write it later and not be attacked with it at startup (twice! and it blocks screensaver too).

Also update manager doesn't really have a reason for asking for password - it doesn't update yet, it could asked after I choose to do an update. As about Ubuntu One - Dropbox behavior is much better - it just remembers password not using keyring.
