Currently the raspbian os we installed is not booting up with a login screen. How can I boot it up to a login screen so that we can enter a username & password and so that it doesn't go directly to desktop?
you can open a terminal and type
sudo raspi-config
There you can go to
3 Enable Boot to Desktop/Scratch
and select Console.
After a reboot, you should be good to go.
Open the terminal and type:
sudo raspi-config
Then select Boot > Desktop / CLI > Desktop instead of Desktop autologin.
Now just reboot.
If you select boot to desktop, it will not give you a login screen. The only time you have have to put in a password is if you select boot to terminal.
I don't believe there is a way for you to have a login screen.

This is incorrect; you may have to disable autologin, (which is a separate issue from whether you boot to console or desktop, although I think it requires desktop mode), but there is a GUI login screen. – goldilocks♦ Mar 23 '20 at 11:52
