Password hint not showing up!

Hello,


I have set up a password hint for my Mac and for some reason, it's not showing up. I checked all the settings and made sure that I have a hint set up and that it is enabled. However, I just can't get it to show up on my Lock Screen. Please help!


By the way, I'm running MacOS Bug Sur Version 11.2.3

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

Hey there, yesnt552.


We understand that you're not seeing the password hint you set up for your MacBook Air on the log in screen. Does the same issue happen if you create a temporary new test user and add a password hint? Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac We want to see if this happens with multiple accounts or only yours.


Also, does the same issue happen if you start your MacBook Air in safe mode? This is another step that can help isolate this issue.


Take care!
