<p>Let's add a "Disable account" page. Click the account, click the dots
36
next to "Password", select "Disable this account" from "Type".</p>

<p>Much of the password dialog simply does not work:</p>
43
<item><p><gui>Choose a password at next login</gui> does nothing</p></item>
44
<item><p><gui>Log in without a password</gui> does nothing</p></item>
45
<item><p><gui>Enable this account</gui> does nothing (and it's not even
46
clear to me what it should do):
47
<link href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655914">665914</link></p></item>
48
<item><p><gui>Hint</gui> does nothing:

<p>You can add multiple user accounts to your computer. Give one account
55
to each person in your household or company. Every user has their own
56
home folder, documents, and settings.</p>
59
<item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
60
<item><p>Open <gui>User Accounts</gui>.</p></item>
62
<item><p>You need <link xref="user-admin-explain">administrator privileges</link>
63
to add user accounts. Click <gui>Unlock</gui> in the top right corner and type
64
your password or the administrator password, as prompted.</p></item>
66
<item><p>In the list of accounts on the left, click the <gui>+</gui> button
67
to add a new user account.</p></item>
69
<item><p>If you want the new user to have
70
<link xref="user-admin-explain">administrative access</link> to the computer,
71
select <gui>Administrator</gui> for the account type. Administrators can do things
72
like add and delete users, install software and drivers, and change the date and
75
<item><p>Enter the new user's full name. The username will be filled in
76
automatically based on the full name. The default is probably OK, but you can
77
change it if you like.</p></item>
79
<item><p>Click <gui>Create</gui>.</p></item>
81
<item><p>The account is initially disabled until you choose what to do about
82
the user's password. Under <gui>Login Options</gui> click <gui>Account
83
disabled</gui> next to <gui>Password</gui>. Select <gui>Set a password now</gui>
84
from the <gui>Action</gui> drop-down list, and have the user type their
85
password in the <gui>New password</gui> and <gui>Confirm password</gui> fields.
86
See <link xref="user-goodpassword"/>.</p>
87
<p>You can also click the button next to the
88
<gui>New password</gui> field to select a randomly generated secure password.
89
These passwords are hard for others to guess, but they can be hard to remember,
90
so be careful.</p></item>
91
<item><p>Click <gui>Change</gui>.</p></item>
94
<note><p>In the <gui>User Accounts</gui> window you can click the image next
95
to the user's name on the right to set an image for the account. This image will
96
be shown in the login window. GNOME provides some stock photos you can use, or
97
you can select your own or take a picture with your webcam.</p>
