We used to have the option to show only the empty username and password boxes on the login screen, but that’s gone in Sonoma. Is there a way to accomplish this in Sonoma?
I used to get this screen before, much more secure. Not anymore.
Have you tried to toggle off the "Show user name and photo" option in the Lock Screen System Settings?
I also see another option under "When Switching User" where there is a "Name and password" for the "Login window shows" option in the Lock Screen System Settings which may also need to be set.

Maybe something is wrong with my MacPro. I showed up my login screen above. My lock screen also shows both of the usernames. I could not make it to show just the password boxes (or username and password boxes). There used to be a user options menu, not anymore.

You probably have an older OS version.
I checked from my Sonoma boot drive. It was an Intel Mac, but my Ventura M2 Mac had the same options.
Edit: The two options I mentioned are a bit separated in the Lock Screen System Settings. They are not right next to each other. I'm not at my Ventura system so I cannot provide a screenshot.
You mean this?
System Settings > Lock Screen. Mark Name and password.
That’s the lock screen. I used to have the login screen like that but, now shows like this, and I can’t find the way to change it anymore.
I guess I'm the only one that notices the OP's screen shot is a Ventura login screen…
and this is a Sonoma log in screen.
That's not a Sonoma screen.
The picture is bad, but yes, it is
I posted the Sonoma log in window screen.
What does "About This Mac" show under the Apple menu?
Try updating to Sonoma 14.1
To dialabrain:
The upgrade to 14.1 didn’t do any difference, still the same.
HWTech,

Name and Password are not available on FileVault login. Only list of users.
No option for removing username and password from login screen
