Who cares if they get the password? You might as well leave your password
blank if you aren't going to be typing it in. (Unless your computer is on a
network that you don't 100% control.)

By the way, TweakUI just gives you an easy interface to edit certain parts
of the registry. It doesn't actually hold values such as your password.
You can set up an auto-login without using TweakUI.

Anyway, as mentioned, its not very secure. But then again, once someone has
physical access to the computer they could get into it anyway, without much
trouble, regardless of whether a password needs to be typed or not.
