Hello,

i just tried to hide a user from showing up on the boot-screen with "sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow HiddenUsersList -array-add username" but it does not seem to work.
Did anyone do this successfully on Yosemite? Or is there any other way to hide a user?

Thanks,

tumas

PS: The option to only show "name + password" at the boot-screen also seems to fail. It does not change anything on my system at all.
