? Hide user list during login?

Hi there!

I am running Ubuntu Mate 22.04.1 LTS.
My question:

How can I hide the user list during the login?

At the moment, the name of (the last logged) user is shown, and her password is asked.

What I want:
I have to enter my user name first, and my password second.

No other user should know any other user name, only her own.

Thank you for assistence!

Welcome @Dusterbraut to the community!

UM uses lightdm for login. I found a somewhat older method here

I suspect it will still work fine, but my apologies that I don't have time to test this just now. But it is only changes to a few text config files, so you should be able to test and reverse easily if it doesn't work right. Just keep a backup version of any file you alter. Even if you really messed up the config, remember you can always correct from one of the command line terminals. (Ctrl-Alt-F1 to Ctrl-Alt-F6)

Please post again with what you find out, or if you need more help.
