Bug Description

Using wily desktop, unity8 used to show a desktop greeter with a password entry, since 8.10+15.10.20150616.1-0ubuntu1 it's showing the phone greeter instead

Corresponding upload
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/8.10+15.10.20150616.1-0ubuntu1

Seems like due to this change
https://code.launchpad.net/~josharenson/unity8/greeter_mode/+merge/256385

WORKAROUND:
1. Swipe from the edge like the phone or move mouse to the left to reveal Launcher and click the Ubuntu logo.
2. Just type your user password and you will see dots appear in place of your password and hit 'Enter'.
