iPhone Mirroring Causes My MacBook Pro To Require Password, Even After I Disabled iPhone Mirroring

No, the key is not to set in your phone.

Open you iphone mirroring app in the mac, go to menu settings, change to ask every time, after that your grayed out option is enabled again so you can adjust the time to request for password after lock screen.

and you are welcome

This happens if you have it set to automatically sign in when mirroring. Turn this off on your phone and it will go back to normal....

I decided to try out iPhone mirroring (since going to Sequoia) with my MacBook Pro. Didn't really see any use for it for the time being so I disabled it. But now my MacBook requires a password every time the screen saver comes on or the screen turns off. I use the MacBook mostly as a desktop computer at home with an LG monitor, so I generally never need it to lock and require a password.

But now I can't find any way to stop it requiring a password. When I check in my System Settings under Lock Screen, this is the message I get (see screen shot at bottom):

So it's telling me that a password is required when iPhone Mirroring is set to automatically authenticate.

I don't understand this or how to get it to not do this.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
