Create a hidden user in MacOS

I'm trying to create a private user on my MBP, my Mac does have Filevault enabled, according to below message, in this case, is there anyway can I adopt to hide the user account completely?

'If FileVault is enabled, a hidden user might still appear in the first login window when you turn on or restart your computer. '

Instead oh hiding users, why not just set the login window “username and password” instead of “list of users”? Then essentially all users would be “hidden” - you’d need to know and type the username to login.
