Bug Description
This system is configured, under "Login Screen Settings", to log in automatically as me (the sole user on this computer). If the system is booted cleanly no password is required. So I'm imagining this bugreport from the perspective of someone who never needs to enter a password and may not know what to type.
One day they hibernate or suspend their computer, and on returning to it they resume the machine.
Expected behaviour here: (after a pause) their desktop appears
Actual behaviour here: they see a prompt to unlock their session
I couldn't find an existing report of these symptoms but I would argue given the story above that this behaviour is overly surprising and should be seen as a bug.

- Waking from hibernate unexpectedly prompts for password + Waking from hibernate prompts for password when logging in doesn't |
Not only do I not use a password to log on, I also have the screensaver set to not require a password when interrupted. So it is odd that power management requires one when resuming. To me it seems that the screensaver setting and the logon setting should be one and the same and should match the PM resume behaviour as well. Either you need a password to use the machine (non-su), or you don't! Then there is the keyring password to consider ...
