how do change login listing

#1 Post by happydays »

Just installed and have already searched duckduckgo and this forum but am not finding a solution.

So I have created multiple users.

But when I get to the login screen, it lists the first user I created only. I then have to select 'others'. So my questions are:-

1) How do you change the only user that appears ?

2) Better still, Can you make it list all the users so I can just select the one I want, with a password prompt ?

Thanks.

There's a little pull down arrow on the right side of the box where you can select the user account to log into. The last account used will appear the next time you log in.

That just gives you the 'other' drop down. You then have to type in the user and pass.

Users created with MX Tools->User Manager should show up within the login screen dropdown list.
So, perhaps you have created users differently.
