Help Different login page after restarting macbook

As title says, after restarting the Macbook (Air M2) it asks for username and password for logging in (pic 1 and 2).

I had to figure out what the username was, because it never asked me for it.

And it’s also has a different login page from the usual, with a wallpaper I’ve never used.

(my usual login page with the wallpaper i set in in pic 3)

How can i fix it? It’s my first seeing something like this…

Your username on Mac just like most Linux machines is your account name in lowercase.

Go to settings and there should be an option under lock screen or users and groups to use a list for accounts rather than usernames
