Hello. By default, LightDM is configured so that the user should enter login
name and password. Login name is considered sensitive information. It is
possible to provide the user with selection of available user accounts. The
most recently used login name will be selected in the list. The user still has
to enter password to login. This provides useful compromise between security
and convenience for a single-user desktop system. To enable user list, place
the following settings into /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/01_my.conf:
[Seat:*]
greeter-hide-users=false
Meow!
