Earlier mac used to ask only password on rebooting or starting on. But now mac is asking "Name" and "Enter Password". I am confident that i entered correct user name and Password but it's not opening .



My mac is Mac book m1 model 2021.


I would be grateful if anyone could help me!!

Go to System Settings->Lock Screen and make sure that for "Login window shows", the option selected is "List of users", instead of "Name and password".


Also: did you turn on File Vault on this mac? This can cause this to happen.
