Trying to set up my Mac mini running Monterey. As I type this I'm not sure if it is after sleep or screen saver or both. When I go to use the Mini it requires I again enter my password. I am literally the only person who uses this Mini so access isn't a concern. How do I turn off the password requirement? Thank you for your help and assistance
Mac mini, macOS 12.4
If Filevault is enabled, then you cannot. Otherwise you need to change the "Automatic Login" option to your macOS user account in the "User & Groups" System Preferences. The setting can be found once you unlock the padlock and click "Login Options" on the left pane of the System Preferences.
You can adjust how quickly the screen locks or the system sleeps in the "Energy Saver" and/or "Desktop & Screen Saver" System Preferences if the Mac is locking too quickly for you.
Thank you for your help. I already had FileVault turned off as I have automatic login already running properly on startup. It is now only asking for the password after the Mini has gone to sleep. I'm sure I need to check/uncheck something somewhere and I am missing it. Thanks
You are Welcome 😀 and Thank you too 🇨🇦
Do come back to the Apple Support Communities ( ASC ) in the future, if / or when additional questions may arise
