On Ubuntu Trusty Tahr(14.04.2 LTS).

On an existing user account, after a while, I set 'Login without a
password' via 'User Management' in gnome-control-center.

Now I disabled 'Login without a password', and configured a password for
the user. On subsequent reboots, I am still able to login without a
password.

'groups' command shows that this account is still a part of 'nopasswdlogin' group.
[reworded original bug description]

I am of the opinion that the source of the bug lies in not reversing the
operation (of adding username to 'nopasswordlogin' group). Should I be
checking in the source code of gnome-control-center?

Any suggestions/RTFMs?

Title:
  Disabling 'Login without a password' does not remove user from the
  nopasswdlogin group

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Fresh install of Ubuntu Oneiric.  Created a new user account using
  'adduser' on the command line, then set 'Login without a password' via
  'User Management' in gnome-control-center.  After performing some
  additional initial configuration of the box, went back to 'User
  Management', disabled 'Login without a password', and configured a
  password for the user.  On subsequent reboots, was still able to login
  without a password.  Tried enabling and disabling 'Login without a
  password' several times via 'User Management', but eventually had to
  manually remove the user from the 'nopasswdlogin' group to disable
  this feature.
