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!
