Yes, I can see it. Checkboxes for "Act as administrator" and "A password is needed" on the same configuration page, also the option to set up your other accounts, like Facebook, ... .
Why the hell do the Gnome developers make the same mistakes like the Windows developers? How many people will set up their account as admin without a password, opening their machines to every script kiddy out there?
There goes the security, welcome to the shiny new Gnome world. In my eyes the Gnome designers have proven their disability to make a good desktop design with Gnome Shell already, but now they are topping themselves with an even worse design decision. Don't they think at all?
