Hi, I recently got a new Macbook and am a bit puzzled about what's meant to happen when logging in. On my nine years old Macbook, when VO starts at the log-on screen, it says I'm in a scroll area, and from there Ih select the user account and press it, then type in the password.
On the new one, the first thing VO says is "sticky keys on" (I do use sticky keys and have them switched on). As I did set up Touch Id and ticked all the boxes for its use in System Preferences, I thought after VO said anything I must be at the log-on screen so put my finger on the touch id but nothing happened. A sighted person said there was a box for me to type a password but when I typed nothing happened. It seems the only thing that brings focus to the password field is me swiping on the trackpad. When I do that, VO says "Voiceover on" and announces the password field and I'm able to log in. So I'm wondering if I should be able to log in using my finger? Perhaps my finger's not consistent or the sensor needs wiping or whatever which I can try but I just wanted to make sure I'm understanding correctly when to place my finger. Since I've only set up one user account on this new macbook it's not surprising VO doesn't let me know about a scroll area with users to pick from, but it seems a bit odd to me that it doesn't say anything else other than "sticky keys on" until I swipe on the trackpad. Is this similar to other people's experiences? Thanks, Catherine -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
