### Privacy: Not showing users when logging in from outside the network
When logging in from outside your local network, the users are not shown. This is to protect your privacy. In this case, you need to enter your user name.
You might also see this screen if you are using a Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge) and IPv6. Home Assistant might not be able to detect if your are logging in from a local network. This is a known issue with Chromium.
