Perhaps I missed the setting, but I want blank username/password fields instead of selecting from available users if that makes any sense. On KDE Plasma if that matters.

Thank you!

I think there's something in the config file that lets you do that, but I don't remember off the top of my head. Alternatively, you could just find a theme for SDDM (assuming you haven't switched to Plasma Login Manager yet) that has what you want. Here's one as an example.

Oh damn, this looks like it might be the way. Thank you kind stranger!

I'll check on my fedora, should be the same. For some reason wikis don't list that configuration scheme.

Open settings > Login screen > set automatically login as user and session.

If you are annoyed by KDE wallet popup you can get rid of KDE wallet by disabling it or set the password to empty.

That's reverse of what they wanted.

Oh right. Long day at the long day factory and I misread.

[-] Zonefive@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

No worries, thank you for the attempt.

Yeah, on mine, Login Screen only sets auto login user and default user/session. No setting to configure to manual username entry.

Seems strange there isn’t an obvious way to make login more secure.
