I followed the instructions as described on forum help page, and when it said "Choose an account from the “Automatic login” menu, then enter the password of that account", the only option I have is to CHANGE PASSWORD, not add a password. What do I do??
All I want is to not have to log in with password every time I restart my Mac!
iMac 21.5"
I can ask this be moved... I guess I'll just ask, good luck over there. :)
Oh wait, you might want to start a new one since this is erroneously marked Solved.
This is the Darndest forum to be able to put things where you want them. :(
John Appleseed is a fake name, used by Apple forum samples. if it was my name, it would be an auto sign in!
All I want is to go back to the old way, before Apple upgraded to Catalina 10.15.4, and just start my computer and not have a log in screen. Can't find anything online that works.
Followed instructions put out by Apple Support, and got nowhere.
You're close, unlock the lock if need be then over on the bottom left click on Login Options, choose Automatic Login for that user.
Apple wont let me post the screenshot for my question, said it exceeded 5,000 character limit. Really?
My sceenshot doesn't show it, but it is on "Login Options".....look at my revised screenshot please.
So, John Appleseed is auto signing in now?
Can you explain the Add PW need???
OK, I don't have Catalina, but is there no choice of names when you click on where John Appleseed is in that pic?
No, the only other option is "OFF".
Tried to post on Catalina forum, but there was no choice for it. So, here I am on HighSierra forum. :(
thanks for the link! Now to start the process over again for the THIRD TIME!!!
I asked your new one be moved to Catalina without me messing with a reply there, good luck over there. :)
thanks for your help, I already reposted it on the Catalina link you gave me.
:)
Can't add password per instructions, only CHANGE PASSWORD! Catalina!
