I think most ppl will call this feature stupid. Btw there was some day I need to reboot my PC many times. I hope I could turn on auto_login by true/false in config file only. I'm using mainly KDE Plasma Wayland. Is there any trouble that's not possible?

Theoretically it's possible if the password is stored as a hash, and it compares with the hashed password set. However this is a security risk, because even though the password would be hashed, bruteforce could still be possible. I don't think this feature is going to get through. @nullgemm What is your opinion on this?
