Right, when you navigate to the Automatic Login popup button, in there
will be a list of the accounts on your machine. If you pick one of those
it will pop a dialog where you put in the password for that user. From
then on when you restart your machine it should automagically log you
right in. At least that was the case for OSX 10.7.

Hi,
The Automatic Login option actually takes you directly to the Finder
with no prompts for Username or Password no matter how many users are
created. If you also have your Security settings set to prompt for a
password after Screen Saver or Sleep, then the password prompt will
come up at login as it probably considers that the computer was in one
of those states.

That is the heart of my question. The automatic login setting should
prompt for the selected user's password by default, instead of the
user having to find the account first. However, at least with vo
enabled, the password prompt is read, but the user is unable to type
anything, even after interacting with the text field on which vo
claims to be focused.

I thought this was what the Automatic Login setting does in the
Users & groups preferences under Login Options. If not, what does
that do?

Yes, but you'd have to erase all the other accounts on the machine
I believe. There may be an option to not prompt for a login at all
even with multiple accounts set up, but I've never found it.

This is the same problem I'm having on my MacBook Pro. Is there a
way to disable this log-on screen?

I'll pass that along. Still, vo comes up asking for a
password, yet the user cannot type anything? That seems odd -
why would vo ask for a password you can't type? Again, I set
the account to be the default login. My personal machine has
only my account, so I have little experience with logging into
macs.

I don't think that it is a bug. It's just the way the login
screen displays when it first comes up after startup.
Instead of interacting, simply press the first letter of the
account name then press return. After that you can enter the
password.

Hi all,
A friend of mine is not new to the mac, but she is new to
vo. I was trying to set things up so she could just type in
her account password when the computer starts and hit enter,
but something odd happened. When the computer gets to the
log-on screen, vo asks for the password, but no keypresses
enter anything into the password field. She has to interact
with the "users scroll area", vo-space on her account, then
enter the password, even though her account is supposed to
be the default and vo comes up asking for the password. Is
there a way to fix this, so the characters she types are
properly registered, or is this yet another vo log-on bug I
should report to Apple? thanks.
Have a great day,
