Bug Description

Hi,

when disabling the user list, the login screen is now composed of two text labels: Login and Password.

Before, there was only one row, where you first entered the password, then validated with enter, then typed the password, then validated again with enter.

Now, there are two rows, but you can't validate the login with enter, you can only switch to the second row using tab.

It's disturbing, and actually annoying (and to be honest it reminds me of the windows login screen), so it'd be nice either to switch back to the one row layout, or to be able to switch rows with enter.

Thanks!
