Bug Description
On Ubuntu 16.04, in order to log in, I only needed to type in my password.
I seem to remember that there was a setting where you could choose, whether to be asked to type username and password, or choose the username from a list and enter the password, or have a given user pre-selected and only type the password, which is my preferred way.
Since I upgraded to 20.04, when the login screen shows up, I first need to click on my username, as if I was selecting it from a list where it's the only one, and only then I can type the password.
It used to be: type the password. Now it is: one mouse click and then type the password.
Regardless of whether or not I have only one user or more than one, I should have the choice to make my login routine less painful by having a given user be already selected by default (you can always go back one step by clicking on the back arrow).
Thank you for actively working on making ubuntu worse at every major release.
