For security reasons, PC-BSD® defaults to a login screen. This means that users are required to input their password before logging into the PC-BSD® system. If you are the only user on the PC-BSD® computer, always use the same window manager, and do not consider it a security risk for the system to automatically boot into that window manager, you can enable auto-login using the "Auto login" tab.

, is used to enable a remote user to connect to a desktop session using {{citelink|wp|Vnc|txt=VNC}}. Check the "Enable Remote Desktop (VNC)" box to enable this service. You will be prompted for the name and password of the user. Reboot in order to activate the VNC service over port 5900. You will also need to open TCP port 5900 using {{local|link=Firewall Manager}}. You can test the connection using the "vnc" option of KRDC (shown in Figure 9.

The "Misc" tab, shown in Figure 8.
7c
, currently contains one option, the "Enable "show password" button". By default, when a user types their password at the login prompt shown in Figure 4.8a, * characters are displayed as the password is typed in order to prevent another user from seeing the password as it is typed. When this box is checked, and the user clicks the lock icon next to the typed password in the login screen, the asterisks will change to reveal the password.
