"Log In" seems good for now...

While theoretically there may be no password, I have yet to find a
system where this is true. Thus I vote that we suggest the default be to
have username and password at the same time, but to provide an option in
gdm.conf for "plain PAM" so that hardcore sysadmins using their magic
bugawunga PAM module can have things work right.

agreed, or at least more obvious

bleah!
