There are other considerations, but from a strictly security standpoint (i.e. making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to login) providing a list of correct usernames is providing one half of the login "key" already (albeit the easy half). Requiring a user to ENTER his username AND password THEN checking that against the approved user list is more secure than providing a list of already approved users.
Do you regularly run into combo boxes when entering your username in Windows? Websites? Phone Apps?
From a strictly UI standpoint, a combo becomes unwieldy to use above a certain list threshold.
