I've set in lightdm.conf these 2 settings (under the Seat:* section) and the autologin doesn't work. It still ask me for user and password
autologin-user=user
autologin-user-timeout=0
I've tried with this setting in addition, but it still doesn't work
user-session=default
In addition, the checkbox "Don't ask for password on login" is disabled and not checked.

Find a solution which works for me. Adding this setting in lightdm.conf :
greeter-session=lightdm-xsession
The value name is from
ls /usr/share/xgreeters/*.desktop
Pick the one you use.

The section is probably wrong/missing. Create /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/02_user.conf with the following content:
[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=<user>
autologin-user-timeout=0

My last answer worked only one time. I had to edit /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_debian.conf
[Seat:*]
greeter-session=lightdm-greeter
greeter-hide-users=false
autologin-session=true
#autologin-user=username
autologin-user-timeout=1
session-wrapper=/etc/X11/Xsession
(If greeter-hide-users=true I ever had to type my username. )
And Also in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
autologin-user= username

This worked very well., and it is better to create a file named 01_debian.conf if there are none other there. Remember though, that setting autologin for guest will not work if autologin for user is set. local user donald trumps guest :-) – netfed – 2019-03-07T16:24:56.137
