Is there a way to disable passwords for screen lock on MacBook Pro?

When I try to prevent my screen from locking every single time my screen saver starts or after going to sleep, this appears: "Password immediately required while Iphone Mirroring is set to automatically authenticate". However in Europe iPhone Mirroring is not available and so far I haven't found a way to disable this! It is very annoying not being able to prevent my Macbook for asking me for my password every single time! Please help!

Make changes to your settings...


"This the issue with iPhone Mirroring. To Fix:

open Mirroring app

Top menu select settings

set to "ask everytime"


Then go back to your lock screen settings menu and set PW requirement to never."

The problem is that mirroring app won’t even open. Therefore, I cannot access the top menu. The message “Unable to connect to iPhone” iPhone mirroring is not available in your country or region appears with only an OK button and it closes. No way to access the app and that is precisely the problem.



Can you log in through the SafeBoot  mode Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support and make your changes(?)
