The Mac OS X login screen can be customized in System Preferences under Users & Groups > Login Options. One of the options here allows for the login screen to display either a list of users or a name and a password field. When set to a list of users, all available accounts will be graphically listed to be selected from:
Dec 04, 2019 The name of your macOS user account and the name of your home folder must both be the same. Changing these names does not change or reset the password of your user account. Because doing this incorrectly could damage your account and prevent you from logging in, you should back up your important data before proceeding.
In the environment I work, some computers have hidden accounts that don’t show up in this list view. Therefore someone can be caught off guard if they need to log in to a hidden account and the login screen is set to list view.
Luckily there’s a simple trick to force the name and password fields to show while using a list view login screen:
Press the down arrow on the keyboard to highlight any user (make sure the password entry box is NOT open)
EDIT: The above step #1 does not seem to be required for macOS 10.15 Catalina.

Enroll your macOS device with the Intune Company Portal app to gain secure access to your work or school email, files, and apps.
Organizations typically require you to enroll your device before you can access proprietary data. After your device is enrolled, it becomes managed. Your organization can assign policies and apps to the device through a mobile device management (MDM) provider, such as Intune. To get continuous access to work or school information on your device, you must set up your device to match your organization's policy settings.
This article describes how to use the Company Portal app for macOS to set up and maintain your device so that you meet your organization's requirements.
What to expect from the Company Portal app
During initial setup, the Company Portal app requires you to sign in and authenticate yourself with your organization. Company Portal then informs you of any device settings you need to configure to meet your organization's requirements. For example, organizations often set minimum or maximum character password requirements that you'll be required to meet.
After you enroll your device, Company Portal will always make sure that your device is protected according to your organization's requirements. For example, if you install an app from a source that's not trusted, Company Portal will alert you and might restrict access to your organization's resources. App protection policies like this one are common. To regain access, you'll likely need to uninstall the app.
If after enrollment your organization enforces a new security requirement, such as multi-factor authentication, Company Portal will notify you. You'll have the chance to adjust your settings so that you can continue to work from your device.

Unverified profiles
When you view the installed mobile device management (MDM) profiles in System Preferences > Profiles, some profiles might show an unverified status. As long as the management profile shows a verified status, you don't need to be concerned.
The management profile is what defines the MDM channel connection. As long as the management profile is verified, any other profiles delivered to the machine via that channel inherit the security traits of the management profile.
Updating the Company Portal app
Updating the Company Portal app is done the same way as any other Office app, through Microsoft AutoUpdate for macOS. Find out more about updating Microsoft apps for macOS.
