I had my Mac OS 14 setup to bypass the Startup login password. It started directly. It still asked for a password for administrator functions. Now after installing OS15 Sequoia it asks for a password. Internet suggestions do not pan out because the Settings menu does not match thier descriptions. So - How do I turn of the Login Prompt on Startup Mac OS15 Sequoia?

Go to Apple nmenu > System Settings > Users & Groups > [username] > Automatically login as.

Is System Settings > Login Password > Automatically login after a restart > turned On...?
Is System Settings > Users & Groups > Automatically log in as > set to your User name...?
Is there a message under the grayed out Require password after screen saver or display is turned off..?
You have to disable FileVault to bypass login screen

That’s a really bad idea…
I have everything set as you suggested. "Automatically log in after a restart", AND "Automatically log is as" (MY User Name)
But it still asks for a Password on wake up as well as start up. Even if I could set it for no password on wake up I would be good with that.
I think I fixed it. First of all there WAS a message under the grayed out area, but now it is gone after I used Time Machine to go back to Sept. 17 and all seems ok. I did not make note of the message though. The "Require password after screen saver begins or display is turned off" is NOT grayed out now. And it is set to "Never". I will continue to use my Mac and see if everything is ok. AND... I will also try to figure out what happened. I did SOMETHING between Sept17 and Sept23 ?? Thanks for your help you got me onto it.
Good work, you're welcome.
Yea' the message would have pointed to the problem, but that seems like a moot point now.
Good work my friend.:)
This doesn't work for me. It turns off my wallet and touch ID. Not good.
Yes, if you turn off the login security provided by macOS it disables things that require secure logins.
It is set to 'Immediately" . Good thought, I think that is the problem. But... the option to change it to "Never" is greyed out. How do I get access?
