Filevault2 Login Screen?

Is it possible to have the File vault 2 login screen show Users and Passwords?

right now I have it installed on Catalina and Mojave and it always shows the User names; and then I only need to enter the password for that user.

thanks for the help.

how does FileVault provide any more security than just my password? hi all :) can anyone please explain: how exactly does enabling FileVault provide any more security than simply having my mac set to require my user password upon waking (Automatic login off)? I mean, either way anyone can access my files as long as they have that one password, right? So why bother with the FileVault? Am i missing something?

That is the only option with FileVault.
