Both the Hurd and Mach console prompt for login. The difference is that the Hurd console provides several virtual terminals (switchable via Alt+Fx, like on GNU/Linux) and detach/retach (detach is somewhat unfortunatebly via ctrl+alt+backspace, so beware if you run this in Qemu with a zapping XServer).
