I yesterday found on my start screen additional user "Other.."
I do not see them in Settings-Users....
What could it be? .. Is somebody connected to my iMac? Can he read my data? My login and passwords? !!
What can I do?
Looking forwards to getting your experience and tip

The "Other" entry available on login screen often means that the root account has somehow become enabled. Normally it should be disabled. You'll find the enable/disable toggle by following this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204012

Dear keg55,
I opened the instruction .. and see following
Enable or disable the root user
, then enter an administrator name and password. in the Directory Utility window, then enter an administrator name and password.--- but I cannot see something for item 4 etc...
Dear keg55, many thanks for your quick reply. I will check again my settings.
But .. I wonder WHO changed it? (me not!).... so, would be possible that somebody external (hacker?) could change the settings remote?...
No one can access your computer remotely unless you allow them to.
