That's not ideal, but no worse than most systems out there (including those
which auto-login by default).

Can you agree that the following user experience is not ideal?

1. User installs a brand new Ubuntu system
2. User attempts to connect to their home wireless network
3. Ubuntu asks them for the wireless access key
4. User provides the access key
5. Ubuntu asks them for a new password they have never heard of

Is there something else we could do to improve it, which would be better
than what was suggested?
