Why is the "Require password" option greyed out

Mirroring issue— always asking for password




mac—Open the iPhone Mirroring app




iPhone Mirroring .app>Settings from the menu bar click on "ask every time", not the “auto authorization.”


Restart your Mac, go back to your >System Settings>Lock Screen and the psswd field>set psswd requirement to "never"





if necessary Restart both devices...
