Hiding the Default User Name in Contenta Login Screens

By default, Contenta login screens display a default user name. For added security, you may choose to not display this default user name. However, this would force end users to enter the user name themselves every time they log in.

  1. In Content Explorer, open AppData by clicking Tools > Options > Tool Preferences.
  2. Click Global > Settings.
