SUMMARY
Running CachyOS on my main device I successfully moved from SDDM to
Plasma-Login-Manager.
Under SDDM I had a user that was hidden and could only be logged into when
typing the username, however in the new Plasma Login Manager the user is shown.
Is there any way to hide this user from Plasma Login Manager as well?
Or alternatively to hide all users so you always need to type the username?
Does anybody know how to do this?
I checked the KDE.org page on the Login Manager ( Plasma / Plasma Login Manager
· GitLab ) and there it simply says “Plasma Login is configured by users
through /etc/plasmalogin.conf“ However, when adding the normal SDDM option
there it does not work and I can not find any further documentation regarding
the possible option in the conf file.
Chatgpt suggested to add Hidden=true to /var/lib/AccountsService/users/USERNAME
, but that also does not seem to do anything. And neither is labeling it as a
System account in the same file.
It seems weird that there is no way to hide known users from the login screen,
even from a security point of view. Listing all possible users is convenient
but hardly secure or private.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
EXPECTED RESULT
To be able to hide individual users or all of them
