To meet my security needs I set up quite long user password on my notebook. But when I am at home or other secure location, typing it down is cumbersome. It would be nice to let the gdm (or: mdm, since I am using Mint 13 with Mate) search for a specific file (on a pendrive), and when it is present, treat is as a security token and log in me automaticaly with it. I use encrypted home folders.
