Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

Steps to reproduce:
At login screen type in username
press return
don't type in a password
press return

Desired Result:
An error telling the user that no password was entered, and/or not allowing the user to submit a null password

Actual Result:
Checks to see if password is correct.

If I remember correctly; when you setup feisty and set up your login info you can't have a null password, so why allow it here?

Thank you for your bug. That's not a bug. Empty password could be authorized and there is no point at changing the behaviour, an empty password is a wrong password
