Problem still present in 14.04 LTS
A family member inadvertently changed their User Account to "Login without password" and subsequently I was unable to revert this change until I discovered the nopasswdlogin group and manually removed them from that group.

** Summary changed:

- Disabling then Re-Enabling login without password does remove user from nopasswdlogin group
+ Disabling then Re-Enabling login without password does not remove user from nopasswdlogin group

Title:
  Disabling then Re-Enabling login without password does not remove user
  from nopasswdlogin group

Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am using 12.04.

  Under System Settings, User Accounts, Passwords, Action, changing to
  "Login without a password" works as expected. On the next login,
  LightDM will not prompt you for a password, You can just login by
  hitting Enter.

  But, re-enabling password, or changing a password for the same user
  does not change LightDM behavior. LightDM does not re-enable asking
  for password at login.

  I think the problem is re-enabling password under Systems Settings
  does not delete user from nopasswdlogin group. You have to delete it
  from the command line:

  sudo gpasswd -d username nopasswdlogin

  This problem is the same ones described here:
