<title>Automatic/Timed Login</title>

Automatic and timed login allows a <link xref="index#sessions">user session</link> to be started without any authentication.
This is useful for systems where security is not required (for example personal laptops) and kiosk type systems where the user session is considered secure.


Automatic login is <link xref="config">configured</link> for a seat by setting the <code>autologin-user</code> setting to the name of the user account to automatically log into or setting <code>autologin-guest</code> to <code>true</code> to automatically log into a guest account.
You can set <code>autologin-session</code> to set the session to override the <link xref="default-session">default</link>.


Timed login is configured by setting <code>autologin-user-timeout</code> to the number of seconds to wait until performing the automatic login.
During this time a greeter will be displayed allowing the user to pick another account before the timer expires.


When performing an automatic login LightDM uses the <code>lightdm-autologin</code> PAM service.
