* '''Password:''' - This input field only appears after a user name has been selected from the list, or typed into the ''Username:'' field. Once the password has been entered, press the ''Enter'' key to initiate the login process.
* '''Language''' - Invokes a list of alternative languages supported by the desktop environment. If you your preferred language is not the current default language, select it from the extensive list and click on ''Change Language'' to apply the selection.
* '''Restart''' - Reboots the system. If this option is selected the system will display a confirmation window verifying the system is to be restarted before doing so.
* '''Shut Down''' - Shuts the system down to its powered off state. As with the ''Reboot'' option, confirmation will be sought before the shutdown proceeds.
* '''Session''' - Allows selection of the type of session to be started on successful login. If you only installed the GNOME desktop then this is the only option available. If you have other desktops installed (such as KDE) these options will be listed for selection. The desktop also allows users to configure and save their own sessions so that specified applications start automatically each time the user logs in. If user configured sessions have been saved by the user they will appear in this list. For more details of how to create sessions read the [[Fedora Desktop Sessions and User Switching]].
