Why are you using the trackpad? Are you using trackpad commander?

Hi,
In some situations, there is a transparent layer active where things like aOS
Heartbeat or some other agent has VO focus. This is difficult to nail down as
it depends on what all you have installed and running on your Mac. Either
click once on the trackpad, or press VO-shift-space once,
Hi Brad,
In my case, this doesn't seem to work. If I type my password and
press Enter nothing happens. The one time I got a sighted person to
look at it they said the password box was on the screen but nothing
was happening when I was typing. It's like I have to bring focus to
it by swiping
If I am correct, even though VoiceOver doesn’t specifically say anything about
the password edit field, your keyboard focus is on the password edit field by
default at start-up, so if you just go ahead and type your password and then
press the Enter key, you should be good.

Agreed. Everybody should know what your options are. The more information
people have regarding their options and the potential consequences of the
options to choose the better.

Of course, but that’s where we can tell people the available options and inform
them of the risks so they can make there own decision.

I think it’s one thing to have an opinion, but that doesn’t mean we should not
say something can’t be done. There are definitely good reasons for having a
password, but what if you don’t take your computer places? Different security
needs can be based on how someone uses there computer.

Hi all,
Thanks for all the responses. So it's to be expected that I put a
password in on startup and that's fine with me. It just seems a bit
odd that VO doesn't focus on the password field or say anything about
it until I swipe on the trackpad...

Actually, I think what I said was that on a call start do you have to enter
your password. I actually wasn’t certain whether you needed it into a password
on a restart as I rarely restart my unit.

I agree, and I always use a password on my Mac.
However, you stated that entering a password after restarting a Mac is a
requirement, and this is not true.

Hi Brad, actually, I’m glad you brought this up. This subject has come up
before. The issue with turning off the need for putting in a password is
problematic in my view. What if somebody steals your machine. Then they have
access to it. I think that’s a small price to pay to make certain that
Hello,
I believe the next update of MacOS makes this login a bit easier. But just like
the iPhone requires a pass phrase after rebooting the Macintosh requires a
password. This helps keep your system secure as the finger print is encrypted
in a way that uses your password and specific computer
This is not correct.
The requirement that you enter your user account password after restarting your
Mac, can be disabled as follows:
1. Go to System Preferences > User Accounts. You will need to select the
Click the Lock to Make Changes button, and enter your Mac’s admin password in
order
Hi Catherine,
Congrats on your new Mac. If you were starting from scratch, in other words
doing a cold start, you always have to type in your password first. Once you do
that, touch ID should work for you while your computer is on. Just remember,
anytime you do a cold start, you have to type
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,
