Manjaro asked for my username

Hello, today when I turned on my laptop, Manjaro asked me not only for my password, but also for my username. This had never happened to me before. What could be the reason?

Hi @Hatt,

I think the reason could be your SDDM theme or configuration. Or perhaps you’ve created another user.

Hello, What is SDDM? I only have one user

The login manager used by KDE.

Did you make any configuration changes before you shut down your computer?
Is there any other symptom?
Did you install/update a custom theme?

… you clicked by mistake on Switch User aka Other… before entering the password …

so it got switched to this

You only had to click on List Users to get back to YourUserName
