I was looking into the source snniplet but I do not understand what it
do...

I want to try it...

Please can you explain what the 5 settings do?

Does this mean, a user need only its USERNAME without password?

...and IF a user has typet his/her LOGIN, that it will be erased
after 10 seconds if not confirmed with <ENTER> or a klick?

There was something I have asked upstream to add such behavior...
I will re-ask upstream.
