Re: user log in weirdness MBA

2017-02-03 Thread Tim Kilburn 
Hi,

This is an issue with respect to Display sleep and/or Screen saver 
implementations.  What seems to be going on is similar to when a user has their 
Mac set to require a password after sleep or screen saver.  This setting is 
found in the Security pane of System Prefs.  Since you likely don't have this 
enabled, the MacOS still seems to bring forward the authentication process 
htough, but it is disabled and therefore cleared by the usual methods of 
clearing screen savers or waking up the computer.  I haven't determined a way 
around this yet.  It's not an issue for me as I have my computer set to require 
my password anyway to wake it.  ET has also been frustrated by this action.  
Probably, it would be advisable to submit it as a bug to Apple.  Not sure how 
easy it will be to fix, but that's why they get paid the big bucks.

Later...

Hi,

On my macbook air, a screen keeps popping up every ten minutes or so.  It says 
user log in, then has my name and a space for my password, which is dimmed out. 
 If I push any keys on the keyboard, the window goes away, only to pop up again 
ten minutes later.  Only way I could read the screen was with the track pad.  
Only people on this computer are me, as admin, and a guest account.  Auto log 
in is enabled for me as admin.

Anybody got any ideas as to what might be going on and how to fix it so this 
stupid window goes away for good??

2017-02-03 Thread Caitlyn Furness 
Um.. nope, not that I can remember, anyway..

do you know how to fix this?

I did try the vo space thing, but if I hit *any* key on the keyboard, the 
window goes away, only to pop up again a few minutes later.

I did go into the users and log in area of system prefs, and deleted all the 
users but myself and the guest account.  Hubby used to share the laptop, and 
for some reason, I also had an extra account for myself(not sure how that 
happened!).

thanks for any insight/help!
