Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I am the only user and thus Administrator on my mac,
I've set Security & Privacy to NOT require a password
I've un-checked Disable automatic login
In Users & Groups I've set my account as Automatic login...
And yet every time I start up, I have to enter my password.
Does anyone have an idea what else needs to be done? Never had a problem with this with prior OSs.
Mac mini, 10.14
Apple notes the following in their Knowledge Base. Do any of these apply to your situation?
• You might still be asked to log in manually after logging out, switching back from another user account, or locking your screen.
• If FileVault is turned on, manual login is required for all accounts.
• If an account uses an iCloud password to log in, manual login is required for that account. You might also see the message “A user with an encrypted home folder can't log in automatically.” When changing the account password, you can choose not to use the iCloud password.
Please let me know if this is helpful, or if it even resolves your issue. Thanks!

Based on your post it seems you have FileVault enabled.
I thought it did but then I realized not.
No FileVault
No iCloud password
No logouts - just shutdown, other accounts or screen lock.
Automatic login not working
