No option for removing username and password from login screen

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.
