Of course I don’t generally recommend, nor use automatically logging in to your Ubuntu system. But there are some cases in which it can be useful to enable auto logins, such as when a computer user is disabled and can’t easily use a keyboard.

So enough talking, it’s time for some action!

1. Enable automatic login

   • Log in with account that is authorized as a system administrator
   • Open System/Administration/Login Window
   • In Security tab Enable Automatic Login and choose user
   • If there is a password protected wifi connection, then another password will still be requested by the Gnome Keyring manager.

2. Removing the keyring password :

   • Log in with default account
   • Open Preferences/Encryption and Keyrings
   • Select the entry “login Automatically unlocked when user logs in.”
   • Click on “Change Unlock Password”
   • Enter old password, and leave new passwords blank

That’s it you’re done!
