I used archinstall to install cinnamon but there is no information about autogin?

What do you mean with autologin? Having no password set for a user?

Not using a password is a convenience thing and a security risk. Given that archinstall is there to setup a basic system with basic security features this is most likely not going to be included

Good evening! You can enable autologin yourself, but as an option, you can add such functionality to archinstall
