My wife and I have sperate user accounts on osx. If I'm logged in after I "wake" from screen saver it only shows my login for the password. Is there anyway to have my wife's login popup next to mine?
 
You didn't say which version of OSX you are running. On my ML machine down at the bottom of the screen is the guest user. I don't have any other users set up on this machine, so I'm not sure what would be there if I did. look at the bottom of the screen and see if your wife's account is listed there.

I'm using ML 10.8.2. There is an option for other users at the bottom. I would like, if possible to have my name pop up and hers next to it. Like when booting the computer, I can log into either account and they are displayed at the center of the screen.

Well, in the wise words of Mick Jagger, You can't always get what you want; but if you try some time, you just might find, you get what you need.
