It's not about Devuan, but about the chosen DE.
Full-featured ones (kde, tde, gnome, etc.) have settings for automatic configuration, passwordless login, permission to enter the root session, and other conveniences.

In /etc/slim.conf, uncomment and edit default_user and auto_login lines:

# default user, leave blank to not pre-load the username.
#default_user        simone

# Focus the password field on start when default_user is set
# Set to "yes" to enable this feature
#focus_password      no

# Automatically login the default user (without entering
# the password. Set to "yes" to enable this feature
#auto_login          no

In /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, go down to the section that begins with [Seat:*] and uncomment the autologin-user line and add your user name.

It seems to be a philosophical problem. You may find such instructions in Arch Wiki.

Perhaps, you need SLiM manual
