Wallpaper on MacBook

The Wallpaper that appears at the Log In page where the use has to manually input the Computer Password can be changed and Only provide the two conditions are met.

1 - There is Only 1 User account on this computer. Not even a Guest Account is permitted.

2 - FileVault must Not be enabled on this computer

For detailed instruction suggest following this very good illustration from @jefferythefrog

actually, the single user account AND fike vault being disabled is still a requirement, but the settings options screen is slightly different as of Ventura.

if you are the sole user (not even a guest account) AND file vault is turned off you can go to System Settings, in the Lock Screen tab,  and set "Login window shows" to "List of users". then your login screen matches your desktop background.

but as before, if you are using file vault or have multiple users, the above will not work.  if that's your situation, you will need to wait for apple to address this. it may be worth your time to send feedback directly to apple. Feedback - macOS - Apple

What is the purpose of File Vault ? Is it risked to deactivate File Vault on Mac ?

file vault is a form of encryption. it's another way to secure your data. I don't use it myself, because I don't need it. but with my application, there are a few reasons I don't use it.

1. I only use my machine for entertainment. so I don't have a worry about any crucial data being accessed.
2. I live in a secure building with cameras everywhere, so my Mac isn't likely to walk away.
3. and it's an iMac, so I'm not likely to leave it behind in , lets say, a coffee shop.

among a few other reasons.

but if you have a possibility of anything like that happening, you may want to look at how it works.

you're welcome. :)

and if you do reference this topic, I hope the people reading this understand that the previous method still applies to Monterey and before. the changes shown here are Ventura only.

Thx 😀 and will reference this posting in future with " Credit to Author "

Will Reference for Ventura separately from you other for Monterey with credits 😀

I just mentioned that incase someone stumbled across this topic, then see my reply here, and have them say "that's not the options I see on Monterey". :)

I think the previous Contributor answered that question very well
