And we want to strengthen the message: the better way is to have one _GOOD_ password in the average case openSUSE is installed - on people's home machines.
Two is even better :)
You're very right and I bet everyone you talked to will disable the checkbox and thinking just as you "why the hell did they make it default, didn't they talk to Vahis". So "they" is you and the rest of openSUSE? And I'm the only one wondering this? I'm obviously very lucky to have only wondered and kinda asked, not _questioned_ what "they" do...
I said already I can live with that default.
Now the problem is: Not everyone is aware of what you wrote and those that are aware are way more likely to uncheck the checkbox. And those not aware are better off in having one they can remember.
Just as you uncheck autologin - for most people it's annoying to not autologin on their home machines, How can you know that? Oh, you must be talking about _all_ home computers, not just nix ones.
but those caring for security will always prefer having to type a strong password - even for mounting their hard drive.
I must admit that I have some partitions that I mount manually when need them. The rest of the time "they don't exist" I also lock my desktop when I leave the machine alone and I boot only for a reason.
