The Users KCM doesn't let you do this, so I assume you removed the password on your account using `passwd` on the command line, right? I tried to do that on Fedora 42 but it actually wouldn't let me set a blank password! Can you confirm how exactly you've got your system set up and how you did it?

I didn't set a password when installing the system. The installer of KDE Neon let me set up an account without a password. In git master, I can't reproduce this. If I delete my user password with `passwd -d $USER`, then: 1. If I lock manually with Meta+L, it unlocks immediately. 2. If I wait for it to lock based on inactivity, then right after the "Delay before password required" duration, it unlocks immediately. 3. If I wait for it to lock based on inactivity and try to unlock during the "Delay before password required" duration, it unlocks immediately. Are you perhaps suffering from Bug 505173, in which you can't unlock during the the "Delay before password required" duration? Can you paste the contents of /etc/pam.d/kde?

In this case, yes, it unlocks properly, but in my case (I repeat that KDE neon installer (Calamares 3.3.14) let me install the system even when I left the password fields blank in "Users" step), it doesn't. So maybe problem on KDE neon side. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/701452745084764194/1381164923375063050/VirtualBoxVM_pcrkckiazu.gif?ex=68468592&is=68453412&hm=9d2dde260c9ad9e1171586d1d0607d13169b90ca44634dea0739e98f38e49a38& > Can you paste the contents of /etc/pam.d/kde? I don't have that file. That's probably a big part of the problem. Moving to Neon. 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.
