Looking for a way to have the Ubuntu login screen "remember" the last
logged in username, so that I just have to press enter to reuse the last
login name, and then it goes straight to the password prompt.

Under system->administration->login window, I currently have it set to
show the list of users, so I can click on my full name. Ideally though,
I would like the username to be prefilled, and just have to press enter,
and then type my password, without using the mouse.

I.e. I am fine with my username being disclosed to anyone who walks up
to the login screen, but I still want to have to authenticate myself
with a password. I could not see a way to do this, and some Google
searches (e.g. "Ubuntu login screen remember username") did not turn up
anything that looked applicable, other than this similar request:
