I followed straightly all the steps (https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/login-userlist-disable.html.en). A database similar to yours was created at /etc/dconf/db/gdm.

The first time I edited /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults It did not work. Then I undone what I have done before: Deleted /etc/dconf/profile/gdm, /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/00-login-screen, /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/, /etc/dconf/db/gdm and then I've run "dconf update" again. All of that leaving the file /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults as suggested. This time It worked fine.
Lastly I've made a clean OS reinstall using today's daily-live bionic iso and only edited /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults as suggested. It worked fine.
