  • – Make a comment on Remove last login info from login screen

Today I've had some user worrying because her financial software must have been "hacked" by an former colleague. The reason was that last time she logged in she used that former colleague's computer, and the computer showed:
Last login at 01-01-1970 00:00:00 from John-Doe.local

Since the last login info only confuses users, I disabled it by running
touch ~username/.hushlogin
