Ventura Lock Screen no user name?

[armandxp]

I can't figure out how to keep my 'User Name' saved on the lock screen. When I reboot computer I have to type in the user name with correct capitalization, and password? I don't remember ever having to type in the user name on previous OS's. I tried the settings in Users and Groups. Is it because I have FileVault on? Thanks!

Under 'Lock Screen', check to see if the 'Login window shows' setting is set to 'List of users'.

It was set to list of users originally. I tried switching it to Name and password and nothing changed. I just changed it to list of users, again just now, and it started working correctly!!! I was on the Ventura betas and maybe it was a bug that just stuck around. Thanks for the help, as this did make it work!!!

Nice - there are a couple of other things that just need to be switched off or on then back on or off to get to work properly in Ventura.

I had the same issue, but additionally I had to remove a plist file first in the terminal.

In more detail, typically, one can also change settings in the terminal:

# check current setting
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow SHOWFULLNAME
# change setting to List of Users
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow SHOWFULLNAME -bool false
# re-check current setting
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow SHOWFULLNAME

Restart and it should work; however, for me it did not. So I removed the file:

sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist

Then I went to "System Settings" and changed the setting back and forth to "List of users", restart, and it worked.
Maybe that helps others.

I seem to have the same problem as the first post in this thread – or even worse. Under Ventura the LockScreen looks exactly the same as in the first post. On my previous MacBook under Monterey it looked as shown in the attached screenshot. In System Settings the LockScreen option is set to List of Users. I have tried to follow the above advices without success.

With this setting I can start as either user but it is impossible to switch between users.
