Hi,
I was confused why desktop still asked for password even when i set the
Automatic login feature to ON. I submitted the bug as below:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=786663
As you can see, they think that is a feature, not a bug, so it was closed.
It leaves me wondering: what is that automatic login feature really for?!!

On the other hand it *might* be a security issue if the keyring would be
unlocked automaticly too. So IMHO the current status quo is a good
solution for all.

Thanks for the reply,
According to the thread reply I can "solve" the issue by setting empty
password for user.
But I would like to comment on the layout of user account. Such issue would
not be raised had it not been the conspicuous switch to turn auto-login ON
or OFF "easily". I mean, I still don't understand why there is such a
button, when it can't function as expected from people who use it?

Giving automatic access to all passwords isn't good idea, but I think it
should be allowed. I didn't like keyring applets on other DE's, as I don't
like popping windows. Integration is very good idea. You'll need that
passwords sooner or not it's smart to unlock them on the start-up.
But I think it isn't important right now. Here is what I suspect. This is
not yet fully implemented feature, and will be fixed soon. It's not a bug
because it's left intentionally. I found some things like this recently,
for example inability to resize settings window.
But I can't be sure.

You are automatically logged in.
It asks for a password for the key-ring and not to login. You do not
have to enter a password into the box.
If you do not wish to enter a password then do not use a password but
remember security is all what Linux is about.

Hi,
I understand the importance of security in Linux. I just want to reflect on
my Fedora desktop experience, especially with the logic of those features.
Since Fedora is going minimalist with gnome-shell, these simple flaws will
only add more confusion to the already not-so-easy-to-adapt interface...

Also, as another point of issue, I cannot set the user account to "Login in

In F17, whenever I'm prompted for a keyring passphrase, there's an
'unlock this key automatically whenever I log in' (or something like
that) checkbox. This may be what you want.
