How many users do you have? I vaguely recall the breeze style was adapted at some point to better deal with many users... if above some threshold would no longer give a userlist.
found it, see /etc/sddm.conf, DisableAvatarsThreshold= key, defaults to 7
This, and note the bug for man sddm.conf, where the explanation for this config option should be documented, which it isn't:
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/785
and here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=856195
"tl;dr: Add this block to your /etc/sddm.conf (create the file if it doesn't exists): [Theme] EnableAvatars=true
The new version of sddm has a new configuration option (DisableAvatarsThreshold) that disables the use of the avatars when the amount of users is greater than this value. This option reduces the time sddm takes to load in systems that have a large number of users, that probably have their home directories using nfs automount.
The upstream default is 7, which is kind of low. If you have more than 7 users in your system you might want to raise this value, or you can explicitly set the EnableAvatars value.
This is documented in the generated example configuration file in (/usr/share/doc/sddm/sddm.conf), I'm requesting upstream to document this option in the sddm.conf manpage."
The important file /usr/share/doc/sddm/sddm.conf seems to be nowhere to be found here on F26 .... or in any package that might provide it for this system.... or I failed to search for it ...
