In an older version of debian (7 or so) I had my system set so the
login screen would show my user name as the default.
That went away after some version upgrade or reinstall and I've
silently grumbled about it ever since (especially when I inadvertently
flash part of my password as my muscle memory has me entering it in
the blank user name slot!).
I have tried searching for the solution but so far have found nothing.
I have also tried "find ~/.config -exec grep -i user {} \; -print "
and found nothing that seemed worth a deeper look.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

you can edit lightdm.conf/lightdm.conf
below this header
#
[Seat:*]
find these lines
# autologin-user=
# autologin-user-timeout=0
uncomment the first and add the user name
uncomment the second line if you want autologin (no password)
