From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

At this point, when do you even want a password to be shown? If you don’t need a password, get rid of it entirely.

Do you still do this by just pressing enter when you change your password? (i.e. entering no password as your password)

Yep, using an empty password should work. They keyring will also need an empty password.
