Issues with MacOS 14 Sonoma login page

I upgraded my MacBook Air M2 to Sonoma today for testing, before upgrading my important computer. My wife, who is visually impaired, will hate the new login screen with the tiny avatar pics at the bottom that she won't be able to find. Before with Ventura and previous, she could click on her big avatar pic in the middle of the screen and get going. The new layout will frustrate her. I'm not happy with it either.

Also, I went to "Lock Screen" to make sure that "Show Sleep, Restart, Shut Down buttons" is on. It is. When I logout, they do not appear anywhere on the lock screen. This is a bug!!!

I totally agree, but Apple seems not to help out us older folks.

It doesn't seem to allow keyboard-only access, either. Which is bad with visual impairments, motor impairments, and/or rsi.

Apple doesn't care.

I encountered the same issue after upgrading to Sonoma today. I hate the small user icons on the Lock Screen and wonder if the issue has been addressed by Apple.

Heyn Apple give your customers the option as to which Log on they wish to choose.
