Apple Pay cannot be used when automatic login is enabled

I am setting up my new mac book pro with touch bar 2016. I get this message "Apple Pay cannot be used when automatic login is enabled" when trying to enable Apple Pay. Please help.

I am having the same issue that pumpkinpie2 is having. When getting the notification "Apple Pay cannot be used when automatic login is enabled" in System Preferences (for both Touch ID setup & Apple Pay setup) The prompt is to open Security and Privacy in which there is not an option to turn off automatic login available. If I navigate away from those preferences into Users & Groups, Login Options, there is not a resolution either which is to be expected because I wasn't prompted to enter User & Group preferences in the first place. If my problem is the same a pumpkinpie2, then we are both being prompted to change a setting in a preferences page where that setting is not available. Hearing from anyone reading this thread that might have an answer to the problem stated would be greatly appreciated!

Yes although these are solutions they are not the solution to the problem I faced. After reading this support link (MacBook Pro 2016, TouchID and FileVault) and chatting with Apple Support for over 3 hours I realized that their is a issue with File Vault and using data migration. After erasing all fingerprints from Touch ID, disabling File Vault completely, re-enabling File Vault completely, only then was I able to add fingerprints and enable Touch ID.


See above link for more information. Or chat with an Apple Support specialist online.


Good luck!
