Description

 * slick-greeter version 1.1.4 + mint 19 unstable
 * Distribution - ubuntu budgie 18.04
 * virtualbox
 * both 32 & 64 bit

Issue
On logout of a second user account the password field is not visible

Steps to reproduce
Create a second account. Login. Logout

Expected behaviour
The password field should be visible - if logging out of a machine with just one account, the password field is visible.

With the second account you have to click back to a previous account and then back again to show the password field.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named in the report. Start by following the reproduction steps with two accounts on the reported slick-greeter setup, then locate the account-selection and logout behavior. Done means the password field is visible immediately after logging out of the second account, without switching to another account and back.
