This bug title is worded incorrectly. More accurate would be: Changing user setting in User Accounts from "Login without password" to "Disable this account" does not remove the user from the nopasswdlogin group.
The user remains in the nopasswdlogin group only when going from "Login without password" to "Disable this account". In this case, lightdm will remain set to allow login without a password. After setting a password, the user is properly removed from nopasswdlogin and lightdm behaves correctly, so setting a password in User Settings and then disabling the account in User Settings avoids the bug. I confirmed this in 12.04.4, 13.10, and 14.04 Beta 2.

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: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11566335 http://askubuntu.com/questions/211084/how-do-i-get-ubuntu-to-ask-me- for-at-password-at-login-again/281615#281615 http://askubuntu.com/questions/100010/no-password-asked-at-login- screen-just-start-session-button-with-lightdm To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1169054/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
