Is it possible to only use pamusb to login (into xfce/lightdm) and not have a password at all?

When I try to change pamusb to required in /etc/pam.d/common-auth and comment out the password thingie I get "Authentication Failed" on the login screen, even before I do anything at all. Help appreciated!

  • Before executing the command, make sure you type in the Terminal (use TTY 1-6 or Ctrl+Alt+T) sudo -i and type your password in, this makes you root until you close/stop using the terminal.

OK, found it after all. You don't have to edit the /etc/pam.d/common-auth file, but the file in /usr/share/pam-configs/usbto have it said as exclusive.

The Debian Wiki has some very good information on the topic.
