Re: Question about "that thing you key in that's not a user name when you're logging in"

Actually, one benefit of this solution is that if you don't lock the screen, each character does show briefly all by itself. That's how I usually let it work. On December 29, 2015 9:54:15 PM CST, Peter Haworth wrote: >That's the one I went with. I might adapt it to show each character >briefly
