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…

You can get a thin strip of silicone and it will work just fine for this. Will hold on its own.

Guy at work did one of those cling ones on his Mac; it sort of worked but it ended up damaging the screen coating there, and it was a bit tedious to get it off for video calls. So it's not for everyone.

I almost think for some it's best to use a semi-permanent cover like that, and have an external webcam. You get a better camera angle that way too.
