Disable Password on Wakeup for macOS 15.1.1

Go to Apple > System Settings > Lock Screen and set "Require password after screensaver begins or display is off" to Never.

If you can not set to Never, then the iPhone Mirroring App maybe preventing you from changing the setting.

To fix that, open the iPhone Mirroring App on your Mac and change the setting to "Ask every time"

Then you should be able to set "Require password after screensaver begins or display is off" to Never.

Then I don't know. Works for me.

FWIW, try booting into Safe Mode then restart normally. Sometimes that will fix anomalies.

Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

What are you seeing in the Lock Screen settings...?

What are you seeing in the Login Password settings...?

What are you seeing in the Users & Group settings for Auto log in...?

The setting is in the iPhone Mirroring Settings on your Mac.

Change iPhone Mirroring settings

Open the iPhone Mirroring app on your Mac, then choose iPhone Mirroring > Settings from the menu bar at the top of your screen. Choose from these options:

• Ask every time: iPhone Mirroring always asks you to authenticate before mirroring. Authenticate using your Mac login password, using Touch ID on your Mac, or using your Apple Watch. 
• Automatically authenticate: After entering your Mac login password to select this setting, you are no longer asked to authenticate before mirroring. While this setting is selected, the “Require password after screen saver begins or display is turned off” setting in Lock Screen settings remains set to Immediately.
• Revoke Access to [name of your iPhone]: Reset the iPhone Mirroring setup for this iPhone and remove “Allow notifications from iPhone” from Notifications settings on your Mac. To mirror your iPhone and receive its notifications again, set up iPhone mirroring. 

Open the iPhone Mirroring app > Settings… and make sure Ask every time is checked. You should be able to change your Lock Screen settings.

You're welcome.

Happy New Year!

No problem! I'm glad to hear that the problem is fixed.
