You can edit  /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf  as root, and change  the:
'gtk-greeter hide user' 
line to 'false'. Save it. Reboot.  You should have your login name auto filled.

Re: [Solved] login screen does not remember my username

I could not find the line mentioned in comment #2 above. Just downloaded BL today and started using. The closest I could find is:

# greeter-hide-users = True to hide the user list

I changed the line to:

greeter-hide-users = false

But that did not seem to make any difference. What am I missing?

Thanks.

Never mind - that is indeed the correct line (the line has indeed changed), but I made a mistake while editing. Things are working with the change mentioned above.
