How to Take Screenshots of Login Window on Mac El Capitan, Sierra

Mac OS X has several great screenshot methods offered, both built-in and 3rd-party. These may be very useful. I have recently found that you can easily take screenshots of the login window on Mac OS X El Capitan working with OS X’s keyboard shortcuts for getting a screenshot. This seems like a new function of El Capitan because I can’t perform these actions on Mac OS X Yosemite and Maverick.
