Just to be completely sure here I did a vm install.

When setting autologin during install - results in an automatic login.

Setting to not ask password at login - results in automatic login.

Open and edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf - comment out all autologin 
lines - results in login required with no password (following the 
previous step)

Resetting password request from Users and Groups would have the obvious 
effect.
