Hello,  
I loaded over 18,000 users in my KALite database and now the login button stays grayed out for up to 2 minutes, then turns full red and you are able to login. I am guessing it is prefetching all of the accounts. IS it possible to disable this prefetch or add an index to the table to speed this up?

Thank you  
Chris

@cdouglas Are you using simplified login? It was because of this PR, it fetches all users from the database. I think disabling simplified login would work.

In your `~/.kalite/settings.py`, try adding `SIMPLIFIED_LOGIN = False`

It’s disabled by default

Hello,  
That’s exactly what I found last week, that when you turn on simplified login, it turns on autocomplete. But I need simplified login, so I edited the code to not use autocomplete when you turn on simplified login.

Hi @cdouglas

We originally had a limit of 1,000 users for simplified login to work. I guess it was a strange way of solving the fundamental issue, that a list of all usernames seems to be transmitted to the client side 😊

You can see more background here: [https://github.com/learningequality/ka-lite/pull/5527](https://github.com/learningequality/ka-lite/pull/5527)

Please feel free to contribute a solution to this or perhaps get in touch with Edulution about it, since they would seem to share this interest.

Best,  
Ben
