Left: the login screen with a custom logo image.

To remove a custom logo, click on the value field, dismiss the file explorer window, and press the delete key on your keyboard.
Using Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
When MFA is set to required, the user will be prompted to enroll on first login.
If set to optional the user can click the User icon in the top right to selected Setup MFA.
Modern Login Flow
Modern login flow changes the login screen so a user only identifies themselves by username. When a username is entered NIM then either presents a password field or redirects them to a SAML IDP. When it is disable and a SAML IDP is configured a button is shown. Please see example of both options below
