I am struggling to get autologin to work.
I have tried changing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf as described in other posts here and in the lightdm wiki,
[Seat:*]
autologin-user=jp
autologin-user-timeout=0
Running Debian 10 with Xfce4, freshly installed from the Debian repo.
Thanks,
JP.

Well I finally stumbled my way through this. I noticed that every change I made to the lightdm files had absolutely no effect. So then I suspected that lightdm is not being used. In fact GDM3 is being used.
So I changed /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf to
# Enabling automatic login
AutomaticLoginEnable = true
AutomaticLogin = jp
and bingo.

sudo groupadd autologin
sudo gpasswd -a jp autologin

had the same problem once.
An alternative to your solution, what's helped me once was creating a file /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and adding the following content:
[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=<YOUR USER>
autologin-user-timeout=0
user-session=ubuntu
# Uncomment the following, if running Unity
#greeter-session=unity-greeter
also thank you for reminding me of lightdm. I tend to forget about that thing -___-
