Oh I totally agree with that and that's an issue for some years now,
I'm just not sure what we can do to fix it

"Ubuntu asks them for a new password they have never heard of", do you
mean that the wording is unclear? Because they did set this password
during the installation or when adding the user

Do we want consider autologin as a less secure option? One thing we
could do is to set an empty keyring password when autologin is selected
during the installation
