[Bug 821771] Re: Set password at next login / Login without a password does not work

 

This also occurs when the only user account on the computer decides to
change their password on next login, which results in them being locked
out of their own computer.

This bug should be critical. Just hiding the option in Gnome Control
Center would be sufficient to workaround the bug for now.

  Set password at next login / Login without a password does not work

Bug description:
  When adding a new user in the User Accounts panel, one can choose to
  have the password set at next login or to log in withotu a password.
  However, with LightDM neither of these work. When I click the user's
  name, LightDM demands a password and no obvious input will satisfy it.
