How do you stop needing to put in the password every time I login

When I first got my Mac 24 I was able to turn off the password, but after I did the latest update, it popped up again. It’s annoying! How do I change it or can I at least change it to a code like my iPad and iPhone? I have Monterey 12.6. Thanks.

iMac 24″, macOS 12.6

Make sure "Disable automatic login" is unchecked in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.


If you enabled FileVault you always have to log in. You would have to disable it as well.
