[SOLVED] How to automatically login without asking password and user

I am reviving an old laptop that is in a very secure environment.

So far I am enjoying bunsenLabs, but every time I turn on the machine, it asks me for a user name and a password, which honestly is just annoying.

I have searched in the forums (perhaps with wrong keywords?) and didn't find how to do this.

How can I autologin every time I turn on the computer?

1) Menu -> System -> Login settings

2) In lightdm.conf, uncomment this line, and add your username

#autologin-user=

The link from Steve solved my problem.
Turns out I the keywords I searched for were not good enough, and thus I didn't this valuable thread.

Oh well, thanks anyway!

Re: [SOLVED] How to automatically login without asking password and user

I use autologin on my computer that runs my media center, it logs into kodi TV in about 15 seconds from the time i press the on button.

I like the ability i have with a HDD and Monitor over a store bought TV set, i have all the ability they do at half the price and i control the medium.
