In Sequoia, any way to not have to type password after sleep?
Posted by: tuqqer
Date: October 25, 2024 08:22AM
On my home Mac setup, I don't like to have to type my password every time the Mac Mini M1 goes to sleep. I have yet to figure out in the new System Settings if it's possible to turn that off so no password needs to be typed once I'm back at my Mac.

Is it possible? Do I need to find some obscure Terminal setting?

Thanks for any help on this.

tuqqer,

I've never found a way to do that. What I do have for my mini M1 and my iMac M1 are wireless Apple keyboards with a fingerprint key. I've got three fingers recorded for each one. That works a charm.

They keep removing the good stuff! (like auto start in the morning based on a clock setting of your choice)

Onyx has your cure for that startup problem.

Well holy jeepers. Never saw this Onyx page before. It'd been awhile since I cracked open that app, thanks for pointing it out, modelmac.

I hate the System Settings in Sonoma and guess they were 'fixed' in Sequoia.

There's the option to set the time to Never in Lock Screen preferences/settings.


Do you see the option

Require password after screen saver begins or display is turned off

and is it greyed out?

I found this, not sure of the how or why (still in Sonoma), but...

Open the iPhone Mirroring app
Click on settings in top menu for this app
click on "ask every time" (not the auto authorization)

Restart your Mac then go back to your preferences, lock screen and the PW field should now not be grayed out so you can set PW requirement to "never"

SystemSettings> Lock Screen> Require Password after screen saver begins or display is turned off. Set to 'Never'.

It will warn you about passwords being seen by anyone using your computer, and ask if you want to turn off Keychain, and remove passwords, or something to that effect.

It't not broken, RAM@d®d, it's a feature!

I have tried turning off iPhone Mirroring (to possibility ungray that "Required password after screen saver begings or display is turned off" in the Locked Screen. But no luck so far.

I wonder if your Display and Screen Saver settings are affecting the ability to choose a setting for requiring a password.

You might try a setting that doesn't incur the warnings, if you haven't already done so.

Scroll down and click on the Lock at the bottom of the Lock Screen page. Now you can change those grayed out settings.

Admin, on both iPhone and Mac. I restarted both devices and still when I put my Mac Mini to sleep, it requires a password to access the Finder. I might be missing a step, I'm confused as to the step-by-step process required.

Scroll down on the Mac in System Settings: Lock Screen? That image I attached is the full view of the Lock Screen, and I'm not seeing any Lock image or slider. This is on MacOS 15.0.
