Issues with login screen on new apple MacBook Pro - sketch?

Hi folks. I got a refurb iPhone and used my appleid from the phone on my MacBook too for FaceTime etc. I set-up my MacBook Pro and only linked to the net once. Set-up my user photo to a rainbow clipart. When I went to login some days later for the second time the user photo was my photo from my iPhone with a password area that was just the the password box and up arrow thingy. No question mark to offer a hint etc. It seemed odd so I turned it off then on again and it showed the right user image of the rainbow clipart. Is this possibly sketchy and I should re-set this new machine? Thanks! I tried calling Apple but I seem to work during their open hours.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.4

I think this is due to cockpit error.


There are many ways to convince yourself that your Mac is completely shut off. However, it is very easy to fool yourself, and leave you Mac still running. When you come back to it, the screen you get will be the "enter your password to continue your session" screen, NOT the login screen.


that is what I think you have just experienced.
