Every time I open Safari, it opens with my wife as the "default" user. I have to log her out and log myself in. I don't understand how she became the default user as she rarely uses my computer.
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
Thank you for the reply but I really do mean Safari. When I am looking at my home screen (Google SSL search), I can see my wife's picture in the top right corner. When I left click, I see that next to her email address it says - (default). My email is below hers, I can click me, or logoff her, add more accounts etc...

Do you really mean Safari, Safari is an internet browser and does not need to be logged in to to use.
Or do you mean Sierra.
Is your mac set up to Automatically Login on start up, if so you can switch off Automatically Login.
System Preferences> Users & Groups> Login Options now set Automatic Login to off.
Now when you restart the mac you will get a login screen where you and your wife can click on your identity and enter a password to open your mac in your respective user accounts. you can also go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy> General you can set the mac to ask for a password for login when the mac goes to sleep or the screensaver starts. Although this might reflect the amount of trust there is in your marriage. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
That's not a Safari problem you do not login to Safari. You are logged in to Google that is why you see your avatars in the top right, you may have to set your mac to not automatically login in to your Google accounts.
You need to create separate user accounts on your Mac for your wife and yourself. Then each of you will have your own unique set of preferences, favorites, saved passwords, etc.
How do I set the default user in Safari?
