Bug Description

I have two accounts but rarely use one of them. When I use lightdm it always defaults to selecting the other account and requesting the password. As such, each time I need to press the down arrow to select my account so I can enter the password.

I think lightdm should instead just remember who used the computer on the last login and auto-select that one to request the password.
