This is working fine. But it was thinking of a home computer with
several accounts (typically 2-5), some without passwords (what do you
have to hide to your family ?). Windows deals with this type of accounts
since XP, and we still require users to have a password, although it can
be  boring when you don't really need to protect your data.

I think this kind of use is a main target for Ubuntu, and using no
password at all should be proposed to the user when he creates an account.
