Login Options: Name and Password?

I have login options set to display "Name and Password" but at login I am presented with a list of Users... I see an icon for each user account. Am I missing something?
Regards
John

I am having the exact same problem...
I tried deleting the com.apple.loginitems.plist and a few other login plists but to no avail. I also tried to boot into safe mode to see if I could rewrite the system cache but since I have FileVault running it never seemed to get there (Gave up after 15 min).
At this pint I am ready to start messing with the plist manually.

Display login as Name and Password not working?

Oddly, in Yosemite, with my system preference (under Users & Groups) set to display a request Name and Password at login, whenever my machine is reboot/restarted, i shows a login window with all the available user accounts (list of users).
has anyone else figured out this bug?
the Name and Password dialog does come up after the machine is woken from sleep, but not when the machine is restarted...
(this removes one level of security since a third party then only needs a password, as opposed to both a user name and password) to login to the machine.

hi Linc,
i'm not claiming i know anything special. i'm just saying that something changed or there is some weird bug going on with my macbook air running Yosemite.
if you are calling the "pre-boot login screen" the one that comes up when you power up your Mac from being completely powered down, this is the one i'm concerned/talking about.
historically, going back to 10.0, just like all unix machines i've used over the decades, on this screen, one is prompted with a simple two blank login which requires both a username and password, as long as the system preference was set to this option. of course, if the system is set to display a "list of users," it would show that instead.
the "toggle" in the System preference is certainly there, and behaves as i expect on my 10.10.2 Mac Pro (2010), but it doesn't do anything on my 10.10.2 Macbook Air (2013). i really think this is a bug because this feature/setting has existed for many years and variations of Mac OS X.

Store last user on "Login Window: Name and Password"

I have set my login window to display as "Name and password"
Is there any way to make a certain user always appear in the Username box - much like you can do on Windows? Basically, I want to only have to enter in a password and not the username everytime.
Thanks in advance.

I think the only way to do that is to set your login window to show "list of users" instead of "name and password". Why don't you do that?

Made a bad change to login options under user preferences, changed from "List of users" to "Name and password". I shut the computer down, now I can't login in when I turn the computer back on. What can I do to fix this problem?

Have Migrated data from IMAC to Macbook twice. Because I had too many admin ids under user and accounts preferences, I was trying not to delete the extras but that they wouldn't all show at login time. Under Login Options, I clicked out "List of Users" and clicked in "Name and password". Can't remember whether I did anything else. I shut down the computer and turned it back on to test the change. I get a dark grey screen with all my admin ids in circled pictures plus one for guest, but doesn't let me do anything with any of the admin ids. I clicked on any one and nothing happens. IF i click on the guest circle, it gives me a message that the computer will restart with only Safari allowed.
Since I haven't been able to connect my macbook to my IMac so I can login to the macbook through the Imac, I can't get to my macbook. There must be a way to fix this problem. I expected to see places to enter name and password but nothing is allowed to enter. Please help!

First thing I would do would be to boot in to Lion Recovery (Command+R on boot) and run Disk Utility, both disk and permissions repair.

How do I stop the Key from popping up everytime I log on to a site with login name and password. This pop up is big and annoying and I'm ready to go back to IE than have that thing pop up huge and annoying.

The pop up that asks if I want to save this login name and password everytime I login to a site. It is huge and annoying as hell. I just want to have an option to stop it. I know it's there, I don't need to be reminded everytime and if I wanted it to remember I would use it. Give me a break.

For anyone coming in to find this, I located my answer here:

Thanks for reading.
Sorry for the interruption.

"Cannot login. Make sure the name and password are correct."

I've just created a new iAS6 SP4 instance on a new machine (new local LDAP, SPARC Solaris8). But when I startup a ksvradmin tool I get the msg: "Cannot login. Make sure the name and password are correct."... and I cannot access to admin my new instance :-(. I don't understand about what user and what pw it tell me. I did this instalaltion on other machine by the same way but without any problem. On my other machine I don't have to identificate me when I use the ksvradmin tool.

Sorry I wasn't being very clear either. I was assuming that you were trying to follow option 2 from Joe D's post on 3-24-2004. Once you know what environment variables have changed you can go the control panel to set them. Some of them will may be new variables that you will need to define. Others may already exists in which case you want to append to them.
The other option is as Joe D said, which is to run VCVARS32.bat before you start Xmath. You could even make a batch file such that instead of starting xmath.bat directly you call your own batch file (.bat). This batch file would have two lines. One to run VCVARS32.bat and the second to run XMATH.bat. If you are not familiar with batch files there are a lot of resources on the web about them. In this case all you would need is:
<path to vcvars32.bat>\vcvars32.bat
"C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MATRIXx\bin\xmath.bat" -v 71.6
The -v 71.6 is optional. it specifies to specifically open version 7.1.6. If you leave it off the newest version will be opened.

Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
This page might help you out...

Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.

I use a program called RoboForm2Go that will fill in user names and passwords for me when I open a site and now that option is not available in the taskbar at the top. How can I use that feature again?

I save the RoboForm2Go program on a flash drive and when I opened a site that I had saved the user name and password, the RoboForm2Go would show up in the taskbar with the site I opened so I could just click on it and it would automatically fill in the info for me.

Under View>/toolbars, I don't have an option to choose RoboForm Toolbar. When I initially set up the program, I was using Internet Explorer and I can go to the taskbar at the bottom and choose RoboForm but then whatever site I was opening in Firefox will now open in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. The old version of Firefox would display the RoboForm toolbar at the top.

Help, I forgot my login name and password

After my husband restarted our iMac he informed me that he broke the computer because the screen was all white. When I went to check it out I saw the login window...which is good, I think. All I needed to do was to enter my name and password... except that I can't remember either. How do I retrieve them?

In that case locate your Snow Leopard DVD and reinstall OS X. Once you can startup you should be able to handle the rest.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Automatic login in mavericks not working. I still have to enter user name and password

I upgraded the original Hard Drive to SSD drive. After the upgrade, I can no longer automatically log in. I now have to enter my user name and password. I tried resetting automatic login in Users and Groups but it doesn't work in Mavericks.

Hello,
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?
How about these?

Using "@" in a password for a DB User is not supported at all (allthough it works).
I did so myself once and I think it was possible to get a connection utilize quotes,
but I do not remember which ones in what way.
Could have been like
sqlplus "sapsr3/admin@1234"
but not very sure any more.
My be toy around with this, but more easy is to use brtools and change the
password to contain only valid oracle letters.
The problem with "@" is, that it delimits the SQLNET Connect identifier.

Oh, and for executing brtools, do not provide a user at all or only "-u /"
This should do a sysdba connect.
