+12Has anyone used this command disableFDEAutoLogin successfully with 10.9?
I have tried using the following before file vault and after applying file vault with no luck.
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow DisableFDEAutologin -bool YES
This is supposed to stop the autologin and give you a login screen after the initial EFI password prompt.

+10I just tried it (again) on a 2013 MacBook Air running 10.9.2 with a startup disk encrypted with FileVault 2 and it worked as expected.
+11I say this as someone who has never set the DisableFDEAutoLogin preference to true/yes, just a couple quick notes. Make sure you're watching your case, the keys are case sensitive. 'disableFDEAutoLogin' is *not* the same as 'DisableFDEAutologin' or, the correct version, of 'DisableFDEAutoLogin'. You can see this by trying to use defaults to 'read' the key back changing the case of the key to be different from how you set it.

Also, I don't think it's needed in this case due to Apple not mentioning it, generally I make it a habit to issue the following command whenever I modify a setting that affects how FileVault 2 functions so that the setting gets pushed to the Recovery HD. Again, I don't think it's necessary because I believe this preference takes effect after booting to the OS, but it shouldn't hurt to do/try.
