I am adjusting the sharing settings on my new Mac running Sierra, and am curious which of these approaches would be more secure if you accidentally left sharing turned on...

Option #1:
Sharing > Screen Sharing > Allow access for > Only these users > <MyUserAccount>


Option #2:
Sharing > Screen Sharing > Allow access for > Only these users > <no users defined>


At first, it seemed like the second option was a no-brainer, but now I am wondering if an abscense of having a user defined could actually make thing less secure.

Of course the best option is ot make sure Screen Sharing is off, but if it was left on, which of the above two approaches would be more restrictive and more secure?
