Describe the bug

Most other lightdm greeter provide a UI to manually login providing a username and password irrespective to the information provided by accountsservice. I believe there's actually a good reason to this. It's possible accountsservice and logind have a fit, and they present no users. The greeter would be empty of any user cards and the user would be unable to manually login as a basecase fallback.

I recall this being a ui during the greeter rewrite.

Ah, looking at https://github.com/elementary/greeter/blob/deb-packaging/debian/40-io.elementary.greeter.conf it's not switched on in the debian packaging.

This is an interesting setting

Thanks @tintou for the tip 👍
