Thank you but I do not know what "typing into word processing" means. I AM a newbie at Linux - I did do some Google searching for that term with no results that helped. I understand no way that any "copy and paste" from anything could eliminate an operating system requirement for password use. Maybe that is some kind of program that inserts a string with a keystroke .Donno - but thanks anyway.

"It seems Pandora's Box has already been opened and cannot be closed.

Though I think autologin capability is one of the most idiotic ideas
implemented in Linux copying Microsoft's Windows' capability, it seems
a lot of people want to do it and are willing to accept the risks.

I sternly admonished my best friend's wife when I discovered autologin
was enabled on her Ubuntu system when I fixed the system after it seemed
the laptop's hard drive had vanished as you can read in my article
(pre-NEO (which infected Groups 18 AUG 2013)):

"Unusual Ubuntu 9.10 failure and my fixes"

Everyone should read the above article if you haven't already done
so because you'll read what happens when you yank a USB thumb drive
out of the system causing a hard drive to be erased from the system
and how I easily fixed it.

and here's how you *MUST* reference that article nowadays:

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/linux/conversations/messages/59964

it's poorly-formatted due to how the hot steaming pile of pig poop HTML5
NEO displays messages from Yahoo's groups' archives.

Clean and 100%-originally-formatted articles can be retrieved from this
group's message archives using the technique Ed described here earlier
this year which proves the message archives are in fact intact despite
NEO's brain-dead HTML5 abortion.

Googling "how to auto login linux" finds these and 1000s more:

Caveat emptor.
