David,
A clean install of El Capitan ensured that I had no inherited issues
brought over from Yosemite. El Capitan introduced some changes that
affects interaction which I am slowly getting used to.
That said, while there are certainly issues in El Cap, I am running
10.11.4 and after resetting my desired login options, I have no trouble
there.
I have automatic login disabled, display list of users enabled and
guest account disabled. When the login screen comes up, I enter password
and press enter. That is it.
Yes it can be frustrating but I find it counter productive to let
these issues control me. I do not like spending so much time researching
solutions but its part of the technology.
From E.T.'s Keyboard...

I think I may have cleared the problem though Apple certainly are
slipping. I always regarded areas labelled as groups as areas to
interact with and investigate. However the group in this dialogue box is
not a group at all to begin with and you will find if you interact with
it, it says empty group. However despite it being to begin with, not a
group at all it is however an unannounced button. Only after pressing
this group as a button will other group items appear.
Basically this log in screen appeared half way through a maintenance
update and therefore seems to take no account of your log in preferences.
I got it to work by
1. Turn on Voiceover.
2Although you appear to only have sleep restart and shutdown as your
available buttons the area labelled with your user name and labelled as
a Group is also actually a button.
3. Press VO space on where it says what ever your user name Group is.
In my case it says David Griffith Group.
4. After pressing Vo Space on this group a password field will then
appear.
To see this with Voiceover you need to interact with the group
5. interact again with the edit field to enter your normal password.
6. I pressed Enter after this
and after a few seconds Voiceover then announces that the update is
installing and eventually you will return to familiar territory with
your Mac.
I hope this helps somebody else experiencing this problem.

this is your user account login and if you did a clean install you
need to create a user login that is not the apple login

I have not been on my Mac much recently as I have got pretty
disillusioned by various annoyances and bugs which seem to abound on
the Mac nowadays.
I installed the latest El Kapitan update today to see if that
resolved any matters only to be confronted by a whole new range of
access barriers.
I had my Mac set to not require a logon but all of a sudden I am
required to provide one.
I can turn Voiceover on and enter my password but the only buttons
then available to me in the dialogue are sleep, restart and shut down.
I can see nothing about entering an Apple ID.
So all of a sudden I am locked completely out of a very expensive
piece of kit.
Has anybody else encountered this and is there is any solution for a
Voiceover user?
