Bug Description
In freya, when the screen is locked by the active user, the default should be to let the user hit the keyboard and type the password to unlock.
But if the active user is Charles, and there is a user called Barry on the machine, then the password prompt automatically switches to the alphabetically first user in the list.
For ease of unlocking sessions and improved user experience, the password prompt should remain on the logged in user.

This is the same story as the last-logged-in user, but I'm unsure if that should be treated as a separate bug
