Ubuntu 18 Disable Auto Login
I enabled Autologin during current installation of Ubuntu 18 Bionic Beaver.
I would like to Disable the AutoLogin but going to:
"Settings -> Details -> Users"
Doesn't give me the ability to turn the autologin off.
My last resort is to redo the installation without enabling it.

please provide an image of the unlocked admin user on your system of the "users" option in "details". The "autologin" IS there as a slider.

Select the account settings from the drop down in your ubuntu desktop and turn on there. From the settings, it is under details->users. You may need to unlock it before you can modify the switch.

You are right! Not used to the new layout of 18.04 and didn't notice the "unlock" button at that time. Thanks for the assistance

I figured it out!
At
"Settings -> Details -> Users"
on the top right corner there was a button to "Unlock".
Clicking that, entering my password gave me the permission to use that slider to turn Autlogin off.

There are some bugs in configuring with GUI on Ubuntu 18.10.
But the configuration can be changed by editing /etc/gdm/custom.conf, comment out lines related to auto login:
[daemon]
#AutomaticLoginEnable=True
#AutomaticLogin=username
