macOS Sonoma "These settings have been configured by a profile"

Here is the way you can fix this issue:

1. Change Preference Restriction in Content & Privacy: Go to Apple menu >>> Select screen time in a sidebar >>> Select Content & Privacy >>> Select Preference Restrictions >>> Allow Passcode Changes >>> Allow Account Changes >>> Select Done

 -> System Settings -> Screen Time -> Content & Privacy -> Preference Restrictions -> Allow Account Changes (Open) will disable such alert message.

I tried this, but I don't have any restrictions on screen time. Is there anything else that could be the problem?

Thanks.

Thank you -- that solved it for me.

Background: Turning off "Allow Account Changes" on iPhones (and presumably iPads) has recently been a recommended security practice. Doing so makes it much more difficult for someone to change your iCloud password if your phone has been stolen. In macOS versions prior to Sonoma, this restriction in Screen Time did not carry over. But now, if you choose to use this feature of Screen Time, it becomes much more important to keep track of your Screen Time Passcode.

Thank you. Apple Support suggested man things but not this.

Thanks!

Very Helpful

It works !

Thank you !!

I had the same issue, and this change by Apple caused me a lot of unnecessary stress. I don't understand why they change users' settings without their permission and think this is normal.

Thank you! this fixed it for me; never had this before till updating to Sonoma 14.1.2
