Therefore I want to avoid entering a second password during the login step (LightDM). Normally, this is easily configurable in the "User Accounts" app, part of the GNOME Control Center settings manager. However the automatic login checkbox does not appear on my computer. Users on Ask Ubuntu (http://askubuntu.com/questions/210823/how-do- iset-automatic-login-in-ubuntu-12-10) also think this is a bug.
