Where has a password previously not been required? It's not obvious where you are trying to do this at. Could you show us?

Hey, A password is required for each user. There isn't a workaround for this requirement. You'll need to provide a password for each new user during setup.

There is an auto login option:  
[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/vision/vision-project-properties/setting-up-auto-login#client-auto-login](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/vision/vision-project-properties/setting-up-auto-login#client-auto-login)

This is a fairly common practice that allows basic users to gain access to a Vision client session without having to bother with a password using a generic account. Usually, the splash page will also include some way to _switch users_ to a password protected account for clients that require a higher privilege level than the auto login account provides. The auto login account should be a _ **read only** _ privilege level.
