Can I change the login screen wallpaper on macOS Ventura? It's simply staggering that users must abide the jarring login screen image first introduced in Monterey. It remains. For a company so committed to design and user experience, this is both sloppy and confusing. Please let users with multiple accounts and FileVault activated change this.

It worked thank you! now my login screen is the same as my wallpaper:)
Just to prevent any more posts on this subject, I spoke to Apple Support about this just now and it is currently not possible to do this due to FileVault. They suggested that I raise a Feature Request, which I have done. Hopefully, this will be addressed in some future release of macOS.
It seems that now you can't delete the guest account either, so that work around isn't an option... Left with some kind of 90s massive orange cheesy flower on the login screen of my £3k Mac Studio... Nice one... 🤦🏼♂️
In my case is more seriously. After change external screen orientation from landscape to portrait and then back to landscape, after reboot the first login screen is now always in portrait orientation on external screen. After success login orientation change on landscape and be in landscape if I'm lock screen or logout, but if I'm reboot mac all come back - external screen in portrait orientation on login screen. One user in the system and file vault is disables.
This worked!!!! Even on Ventura 13.3!
thanks that does the trick for me

Three things "seem to me..."
It seems to me that this issue has been going on since Monterey?
It seems to me that there is currently no fix.
Finally it seems to me there are bigger problems of which to take issue.
First of all, don't sit in your chair staring at the login screen getting mad. Login, and then move along.
Here is my biggest issue: I updated to Ventura 13.3.1 and soon discovered I had no 'write' access to an NTFS partition through Paragon NTFS for Mac that came with an external disk drive. 13.3.1 broke it. I use it for BOOTCAMP but its nice to write to it on macOS instead of it mounting as read-only. While trying to resolve that I broke other things leading to a Time Machine reinstall and multiple recovery mode Ventura reinstalls. Other software was equally broken. Only after resolving that "Ventura update" problem did I decide to look into changing the ugly login screen. Oh well, my blood pressure has returned to normal and the ugly login screen isn't going to get to me. Just as in MS Windows, Apple will provide sufficient "If it ain't broke, fix it with the biggest hammer to be found" issues to well and truly **** me off.

To change 2) :
Set you preferred background in Systems Settings -> Wallpapers
2. then go to Systems Settings -> Lock Screen -> Show message when locked -> enable the option -> set a message (you can disable it after) -> it will update the default login screen wallpaper to include the message -> that's the trick
3. Quit Systems Settings
4. Logout -> the new wallpaper is used for the login
This did not work for me.

how?? :´)
Setting a message didn't work for me on Ventura 13.4
