This night, my mac has made some updates and later on, I realized that after I put my mac to sleep mode, it always asks for password. I want to disable it but when I looked to preferences in Security&Privacy, I cannot untick the "Require Password after sleep or screen saver begins". How can I fix this? My mac runs mac os high sierra.
If you haven’t yet, try after rebooting.
If still no joy, try in Safe Mode then do a normal reboot and try.
Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support
Is file vault enabled in Mac .
Please someone help, I need to fix this. I am so irritated about this thing.
no it is turned off
I tried all but none of them worked
If you try to uncheck the box of require a password a pop up window shows .The choices are shown in the screen shot and for a good cause the Mac user must not uncheck it ( and must not click on turn off screen lock ) , in your screen shot disable automatic login is unchecked , as for administrator it is always checked and in users and groups automatic login is kept as off .
