How to change Ubuntu 12.04 login screen to require full credentials?
A login screen should ask for both user name and password. That is basic common sense security IMHO. With Ubuntu 10.04 I could change the login to require both by executing
I installed and ran gconf-editor and set apps; gdm; simple-greeter; disable_user_list to checked. I then rebooted. No change to the login screen Another Canonical enhancement.
I tried your suggestion but that simply adds the name "Login" to the list. If I click on it I am presented for a prompt for Username. My account name "ken" is still displayed in the list along with Login and Guest Session. Not exactly what I am trying to accomplish.
