Remove or bypass "mandatory login" - TouchUI

[DocChaos]

What is the problem?

Made the mistake to update to the latest Octopi version - I have only a 7" Touchscreen installed - created a user and also set "remember login" ... i had the silent hope whenever i reboot the pi it will automaticall login. WRONG - everytime my TouchUI plugin starts - i have to login. Which is a nogo tbh. I dont want to install a keyboard nor i want to have a on screen keyboard..... its a simple plain interface to control my printers.....

do i need to really downgrade? or look for another solution?

thanks for any tips!

Maybe you want to read this guide:

How to set up OctoPrint to autologin a single user when connecting from the internal network

Starting with OctoPrint 1.5.0, OctoPrint makes enabled access control mandatory. This might be an inconvience for some who run OctoPrint in an isolated setup where a login is not required to ensure security, at a benefit for a huge number of users out there who continue to underestimate or simply ignore the risk of keeping their OctoPrint instance unsecured and then happily exposing it on the public internet. And frankly, it will also make me sleep better at night. That being said, even as far …

The default settings for AutoLoginLocal are enough to allow connected touchscreens to auto-login (127.0.0.1, localhost) - it just needs to be enabled.
