Interesting, but in this case, for example, OpenSSH will also ask you for the password again and again, i.e. you can't login by pressing Enter for passwordless accounts.

I think we need discussion.
My opinion - we don't need to change something here.

If a user with no password locks a screen session by pressing Ctrl + A and X, there's no proper way to unlock the session.

Steps to reproduce.
1. Make a user for test.
2. Remove the password from the new user with command: passwd -d [user]
3. Change(login) to the user.
4. run: screen
5. Press Control + A and then X to lock the session.

What happens:
The session locks, seems okay. However, typing Enter doesn't unlock the session despite the fact that there's no password for the user.

What should happen:
Pressing Enter key should just unlock the session. Or the session should not lock at all.
