Please add option to switch off passwords

Greetings.

I'm the only one that uses my computer but often leave in sleep and when I wake it up it always wants a password.

Please give options to switch off passwords as I just want convenience and without anyone else having access to the computer I don't care much for the security.

As I said before I am not using Zorin now. But I believe if you go into power saving options there is a setting to lock screen when sleeping. I think that is on by default. If you turn that off you shouldn't have to use a password to unlock the screen when wakening. Someone who is using Zorin can clear that up if I am remembering incorrectly.

In the Settings You have in the User Tab a Toggle for automatic Login. Did You tried that?

You can have auto login turned on. But if the screen goes blank the OS will still ask for a password if you don't turn off the lock screen function. I have always used auto login because no one else has access to my PC. But I still kept getting the request for my password after screen lock until I found that setting to turn off screen lock on screen blanking.

"Caffeine" Gnome extension allows to suspend screensaver option. Works flawlessly in Zorin 17.1

Okay, yes. I understand. There are 2 Places for checking these Settings. One Place is in Settings=>Privacy=>Display

And the other is in the Power Settings Tab in the Settings.

Thanks for this. Auto login wasn't working.

Sorry all for the late response.

Are you saying that the problem is now solved?

I have also moved this thread to "General Help".
You can now mark your post :ballot_box_with_check: Solved, if true that problemn is fixed.
