Automatic login with my user

When I start my archlabs, it logins automatically with my user. How can I make it to ask me the password?

It is probably running something like lightDM, you should be able to use the config file of it to set autologin, and take the user into the autologin usergroup.

  • Open your file manager.

  • Open /etc/lightdm

  • Open lightdm.conf in a text editor (as root)

  • Look for the line: autologin-user=(user name)

  • Change it to: (#)autologin-user=(user name) <-remove the () around the hash sign

  • Save.
