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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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?

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

  • Windows Login Name and Password

    Hi,
    I am developing an application, which requires the windows login name for greeting and password for validating and granting privileges.
    Could someone please give me the pseudo code for getting the windows login name and password.
    Thanks,
    Mitra.

    I'll try to validate some other parameter instead of
    password. The password will be stored but it will be
    encrypted.Bad Thing (TM). Never store passwords.
    When we are able to get the UserName using
    JavaScript, why can't we get it using Java.I told you how to get it. And what does Javascript have to do with anything? Just because you can drive through a very narrow alley with your bicycle, you should be able to do the same with a truck? Javascript and Java are not related in any way.

  • 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.

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

    I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that either

    You would make address lables with the Contacts app.
    If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself.

  • Default user name and password on Stor.e Tv

    Hey,
    I just bought a 2tb stor.e tv unit and have moved all my files onto it,i am trying to access it over the network and it is asking me for a user name and password but i have never set one!!!
    Does anyone know the default user name and password OR do you know how i can set one up?
    Also has there EVER been a firmware update for this thing?
    Best thing i can tell is that there has not been one since 2010.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Cheers Guys,
    John.

    From my knowledge the StorE TV is not secured with any passowords.
    I think that you should try to set Stor.E TV to its default factory setting.
    To do that, you have to go to the Setup -> General Setup -> Default.
    But if it fails and the Store TV is not able to boot then this may be a hardware malfunction.

  • PowerBook G4 boots to unfamiliar login. List of known user accounts does not appear and original admin user name and password is rejected. What is going on here?

    PowerBook G4 boots to unfamiliar login. List of known user accounts does not appear and original admin user name and password is rejected. What is going on here?

    There are no children, nor other suspicious characters that have "played" with my computer. One moment I'm in, the next time I turn on/restart the powerbook I'm at a screen with the name of the hard drive and two fields: username and password. Not a list with pictures and names ie 'Katie Jo' with an orange icon and 'Guest' with a silhouette of a head.
    In an attempt to remedy this problem, I backed up files using target disk mode and firewire cable. I then, rebooted in single user mode, typed in the correct script and essentially made the computer appear virgin again. Original start up welcome screen display with multiple languages, and then set up prompts such as language, network, and registration. After completing the cues and the "just a few more questions" page, I press continue and am left at a grey standstill, with the continue button greyed out, and no other actions. I'm only able to "go back" by clicking the go back button, all the way to the beginning of the set up, and as I proceed through the steps a second time, I'm greeted with the same halt. What is this?

  • Bypass user name and password prompt for sqlplus on Windows

    Hi folks,
    I had oracle 10g installed on my Windows XP SP2 system and everytime I use sqlplus, it prompts for user name and password. Some folks wrote some Unix shell scripts which invokes "sqlplus" without giving it user name and password, and these scripts are running fine on Solaris. So I would like to make these script to work on my Windows box as well. But obviously, it asks me user name and password every time. Since it is a shell script, sqlplus << EOT .... EOT will fail right away with : Fatal NI connect error 12560, blah blah blah...
    So my question is how to make sqlplus bypass the user name and password questions.
    Thanks,

    No sqlplus /nolog does not connect you to the database, you still need to connect to the database.
    c:\sql>sqlplus /nolog
