Perfect, the login now works as expected.

I did try changing the password and removing and recreating the password
on the "mark" account from the user accounts dialogue box before posting
the bug but it made no difference.

Thank you

Mark

Title:
  lightdm doesn´t ask for password

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  For a long time (from previous versions) on my system I had only one
  user - Mark - with admin privileges, a password set and auto-login at
  startup. At boot I went directly to the Mark desktop.

  Now I add another user for my daughter - Carol - normal user but with
  no password. I switch off auto-login for both users. At startup I see
  the lightdm screen with users Carol and Mark, I can access Carol
  correctly by pressing "Log In" but when I choose Mark I am not asked
  for the password, I see the "Log In" button and enter directly in the
  Mark desktop without being asked for a password.

  I can also access Mark directly from the Carol account using the drop-
  down in the top left, again without being asked for a password.

  When I look in "user accounts" I see Carol with "no password" and Mark
  with a password set, neither have autologin set.

  I have looked at all the lightdm config files and can´t see anything
  obvious.

  I need to protect the Mark account from my growing children. I´d
  appreciate your help.
