Require password to wake from sleep is broken

Recently, the security setting "Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver" stopped working for me. Seems like it was around 10.4.6.
Now, whenever my mac is asleep or in SS, just moving the mouse gets me back to log in.
I have automatic login disabled.
I suspect that something is running on the mac that is making the mechanism think that the machine is still active or something, but I don't know how to go about figuring that out.

I tto am having seeing this problem again just now, and agree that the culprit must be some dark process...
I have seen this behaviour come and go in the past, tried all the suggested 'fixes', and have to say that I see no correlation between the two.
I was obliged to perform a 'clean system install' several days ago (never before have I needed to do that on OS X - the machine was and is on 10.4.8) - only this problem arrived after that. My Powerbook Ti-DVI has, both before and since the OS re-installation, had extraordinary difficulty with restarts, let alone sleep, and MirrorAgent is most often the cause (iDisk synchronisation)...
cannot say whether that might be related.

System No Longer Requires Password to Wake from Sleep

Greetings all! My Mini has recently stopped asking me to supply a password when waking it from sleep. It goes into sleep with no problem, complete with the pulsing white LED. But when I wake the system (using either the keyboard or the power button), the system just wakes up without requesting authentication. In addition, if I leave the system idle for 15 or 20 minutes, the screen saver kicks in. Trouble is, settings in both "Energy Saver" and "Desktop & Screen Saver" are set to never sleep the display. (And it doesn't require a password to wake the display there either.)
I've tried unchecking and rechecking the "Require password..." option in "Security", I've tried rebooting, I've tried repairing priveleges. Nothing works. I do have a KVM switch hooked up to the system, but I don't think that's the culprit, as the system has required a password in the past with the KVM switch connected. In addition, I've had this problem occasionally in the past, and it usually comes up after I've installed a system update from Apple. In the past, it's just seemed to go away on its own, but I'd obviously like to fix it myself instead of letting it work itself out.
Anyone have any suggestions on perhaps trashing certain prefs files or anything else? Thanks!

It's the same here on a recently bought MacBook Pro. Searching this forum produced quite a lot threads about this topic. But none of the solutions posted did work on my machine.
I'd like to file a formal bug report with Apple, but I did not find any bug tracking system. Is the feedback program the only way to let Apple know there is a problem?? I'd prefer if I got some feedback on my problem report...

Password to wake from sleep

For security reasons, I like to require that my computer asks for a password to wake from sleep. i do this on my OS X mac without a problem. I need to do the same on another mac that runs OS 9.1. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!
Tim

Hi, Tim -
There's no way to do that with the OS 9-native software.
There are many third-party screensavers whose modules incorporate such a feature, and which run in OS 9. Here's a few possible sources for such -
Screen Gear - Screen Saver, Image Displayer
MacScreenSavers.com - Free screen savers

Password not required immediately after wake from sleep

Every once in a while when my retina macbook pro wakes from sleep I do no need to enter my password immediately. Instead it just starts with no password required and then 5-10 seconds later it takes me to the lock screen and asks for my password. Other times it will ask for my password, start up after its entered and then 5-10 seconds later it takes me back to the lock screen and asks for my password again. Usually when it "takes me back to the login screen" it actually just makes the screen black until I press a key or move the mouse and then it "wakes up" again and shows the login screen.
Also is it common for it to hang for a while before allowing me to type my password after waking from sleep? Frequently it will take 10+ seconds before I can start typing in the password field or the clock updates etc. Its a 2.3ghz core i7 with 16GB of ram.
I have installed all updates and it should be noted that I do have the "require password immediately after sleep or screen saver begins" option enabled in system preferences.

Hi Kevin,
You mention that you moved the TC's network up in priority, so you may have already done these things as well. Apologies in advance if that is the case.
If you normally use your MBP with wireless, make sure that the AirPort connection is that top of the connections list in System Preferences > Network. Click on small gear icon at the bottom of list to put the Airport connection first in line to connect so the MBP will not look for an ethernet connection first.
Click on the Airport connection to highlight it and then click Advanced. If you have other wireless networks that you can delete, use the - (minus) button to do so. Ideally, you'll only have a few networks displayed. Confirm that your wireless network name is first at the top of this network list.
Make sure there is a check mark next to Remember Networks Joined. Leave the next two check boxes blank.
Any help? My MBP connects consistently and quickly with these settings when the cover is opened.

10.4.9 Killed "Require Password when waking from sleep"

My MacBook Pro 2.33 will no longer ask for my password when waking from sleep. (Photoshop CS2 was also hanging on launch, but a permission repair fixed that). This is troublesome.

Hi,
There is an answer for that already

How do I change the password requirement when my computer wakes from sleep?

I followed the procedures as posted to change the password setting. This is a personal laptop. User setting indicate password is not required when waken from sleeping However, 8.1 continues to ask for a password. Need help!

Tried this. Settings indicate no password required for booting and no password required for waking from sleep. Password is not required when rebooting; however, continues to require password when waking from sleep. Any advise?
This was design by default, you still need password when system locked.

Scheduling backups when wake from sleep is password protected

i'm just wondering if it's possible to wake a mac from sleep (at say 0200) in order to run a backup script, if a password is required to wake from sleep/screensaver ?
what's happening at the moment is that the computer wakes, the script starts to run, but then after about 1 minute, because the authentication dialog is not processed, it goes back to sleep, so interrupting the script
i had the same problem trying to sftp into a mac after using wake-on-lan to wake it from sleep remotely. i can successfully make the sftp connection and start file transfers, however it quickly goes back to sleep (as the authentication dialog is unanswered)
so does anyone know of a way to keep the security of require-password-from-sleep, as well as allowing useful things like running scheduled backup scripts ?
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I also had this problem and I worked with Apple Care. They are aware of the problem and apparently are working on a fix. The only way around this for now is to uncheck the option requiring a password to wake from sleep/screen saver in System Preferences/Security. I was amazed to find this problem, I can't believe Apple let this one past them because surely all those folks who use Backup with .Mac accounts have experienced this problem or don't realize their backup isn't happening. So, hopefully this is one item that will be fixed at some point.

Any way to set password wake from sleep but not...

screensaver?
i have "ask for password on wake from sleep or screensaver" in security prefs.
i'd like to disable that for the screensaver only...any way to do this? terminal, shareware... any ideas?

solved!
found a freeware app on versiontracker called 'utility lock' that lets me lock my mac on sleep only.

Change "require password to wake this computer from sleep or screensaver"

Does anyone know how to change the checkbox in sys prefs > security > require password to wake this computer from sleep or screensaver via cli?
I would like to always have this enabled, but individual users can shut this off...
Thanks

Code an AppleScript using the SystemsEvents>SecuritySuite>SecurityPreferencesObject>RequirePasswordtoWake then use the cli 'open' to run it?

Unix command to require password to wake computer from sleep or screensaver

Yo folks,
Just as the subject says, is there a Unix command we can send that turns on the option to require password when the computer wakes from sleep or screensaver...which is the first option in System Preferences --> Security?
I looked through the systemsetup commands and didn't find anything.
Thanks!

Run the following AppleScript:
set items_1 to items -18 thru -2 of (do shell script "ifconfig en0 ether")
set items_2 to ""
repeat with this_item in items_1
if this_item is greater than ":" then
set items_2 to items_2 & this_item
end if
end repeat
set the_path to "defaults read ByHost/com.apple.screensaver." & items_2
set old_string to do shell script the_path
set new_string to (items 1 thru 6 of old_string) & "askForPassword = 1;" & (items 27 thru -1 of old_string) as string
do shell script "defaults write ByHost/com.apple.screensaver." & items_2 & " '" & new_string & "'"
The necessary plist key is part of an array, and is in a file which has the computer's Ethernet address in its file name, so the script needs to handle both tasks. This change will not show up in the GUI until the account logs out and back in.

New iMac wakes from sleep sluggishly and requires password despite preference setting

My new iMac (Core i7) wakes from sleep very sluggishly and it requires a password despite the fact that I have de-selected this option in Preferences.
I have a new iMac. I used Migration Assistant to move everything from my older Mac Pro, which was running Lion. Under the Secucrity settings in Preferences, I de-selected "Require Password."
I use a bluetooth mouse and wireless keyboard. Typically I click the mouse to wake up my Mac. The screen comes to life and the cursor moves with the mouse, but...how can I explain this? When I move the mouse in this situation, the cursor paints a gray swath over the desktop screen. It looks like I am using a paint program.
After clicking the mouse repeatedly the computer becomes responsive and the password entry screen appears--most of the time. I have tried to set it up so a password is not required, but usually I get this screen. SOMETIMES, it behaves correctly--say one-fourth of the time.
Another problem... When I shut the iMac off and then back on, it does not always link to my Apple bluetooth mouse. I have to connect a USB mouse and re-link the wireless mouse.
I wonder if this is a software/OS issue. My old Mac Pro had similar wake-up issues, and I wonder if Migration Assistant transferred them to my new machine.
Your thoughts and great ideas are appreciated.

I too am having trouble with my bluetooth mouse after upgrading to 10.7.2 and the associated iOS 5 upgrades. The mouse keeps losing its connection. I've turned bluetooth off, trashed the preferences, rebooted and repaired both the keyboard and mouse but the mouse keeping dropping out. Keyboard seems ok. Anyone have any ideas?

10.8.5 iMac Won't wake from sleep/screen saver with require password set

I have several iMacs 2009/2010/2011 that are set to require a password when waking from sleep just this week all of them started freezing when this happened and will not start back up if restarted - they go pasgt the Apple Logo w Spinning gear to the Apple Log & Mouse icon - but don't make it to the login screen
The only way to get past it is to safe boot and delete the loginwindow.plists and loginitem.plists - and in one case go in in target mode and delete it
They are all up to date - the last updates I did were the 10.8.5 Supplemental Last week - and ARD Client 3.7.1 - Monday.
None of them have done again this since I deleted the plists
Has anyone else run into this? If so does anyone know if it is related to the updates or do I need to keep digging?
Thanks
Robbie G

I am having this problem still, even after updating with the latest combo. I find that my Macbook Pro (using 10.8.5) will show the beach ball spinning with a black screen. I have to restart the laptop in order to clear this problem. Very annoying since this can happen two or three times a day.
You mention 'plists'. What are they? And if you delete them, are they recreated automatically upon restart?

FEATURE REQUEST: illuminate keyboard on wake from sleep and passwd required

I've had my MBA for about a week and a half now. Slick little machine. Love it. There's one thing it doesn't do that's driving me crazy. Well, not literally crazy, but it is annoying. To reproduce:
1. System Preferences -> Security -> check "Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver." Quit System Preferences.
2. Press F6 enough times to make sure the keys are illuminated.
3. Close the display and wait for the computer to go to sleep.
4. Open the display and wait for the computer to wake.
5. The screen will turn on and the password prompt will appear. However, the keys are not illuminted! If you're in the dark, you have to hunt for the right keys to enter your password.
6. After you enter your password, you are brought back to whatever you were doing when you closed the display in step 3, and the keys light up.
The keys should light up when you open the display, not once you've unlocked the machine!
Bug!

It's best you send this directly to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback
Have a nice day.

When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?

When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?

I was at the Apple Service. The problem was the 750Gb Toshiba HDD. It's incredible what noise can make that little thing
I didn't know the hdd position is on left on MBP 17" , I thought is the same position like MBP15"
I did't lose any kind of data.. it was fix on time.
Anyway, thank u guys....and don't forget that noise !!!
P.S. I'll make a song with that noise sample to remember it

Mac Pro Failed to wake from sleep

Hello All,
I've had my Mac Pro since Aug. 2007. Never had any problems of any kind until this morning.
To wake from sleep (as I always do): depressed arrow key (10:43 AM). There was a delay - then the spinning beach ball for about 2 min. I did a hard shutdown, waited a bit, then restarted at 10:52 AM. Boot up was (as always) quick.
I logged into my (usual) non-admin account and observed:
When all start up items were loaded: Finder windows appeared approximately as follows:
1. A window showing the (not sure of proper term) "internal folders" of main boot up volume.
2. A window showing the internal folders stored on my mirrored RAID back up disk(s)
3. A window showing the internal folders of my bootable back up.
4. A window showing all 3 disk icons[ Main boot, Bootable backup and the RAID].
I closed all of these windows. [Didn't think too much about it but it's not normal to have these widows appear] SO -
Next:
Then I logged out and logged into my admin account to check the system log with console.
It showed an event from last night which I could not interpret but it did not appear to reveal serious problems (something about not being able to make network connection).
But - the second item on the System Log showed the "wake from sleep" sequence (at 10:43 AM).
I'm going to post the entire wake from sleep log below but first I'll state what was obvious to me:
Startup of CPU #1, #2 and #3 appear first - there is NO #4 CPU!
The log for the manual startup at 10:52 showed some apparent problems as I note below.
Next: Once logged in as admin - I launched Activity Monitor just to assure myself that all four CPUs were at least registering - and they were / are.
Hoping someone here can more thoroughly analyze this log report and give me an idea of the cause of the failure to waken.
Naturally, I won't want to put the Mac Pro to sleep again until I'm sure this isn't a "permanent" problem requiring further action (including service, of course).
Also noticed a statement about some app not having correct permissions (apparently at the System level) and something about removing several orphaned files. There's a warning about CarbonCopyCloner scheduled tasks as well. But there my understanding ends.
Thanks in advance:

Hello Alexandre,
First - thank you very much for taking time to offer thorough and informed advice.
However - as indicated in my last post, I have performed the first (and very basic) "test" - I checked to see if Xgrid was included in my network prefs and found that it was. I unchecked it because I don't have the setup to make use of processor resources on the other Mac I have in my home network. (And that other Mac is an old G4 eMac - not much help anyway!)
More specifically: it's apparent that I was using Xgrid "inappropriately" so I think the System Log really indicates that no connection can be found -because there isn't one!
I too still wonder about the "missing CPU 4" but, overall, I see no other indications that there's a problem. Activity Monitor shows all four CPU cores and they're all showing activity. I have not seen (or noticed) this in prior System Log reports so, if I see this again - I'll renew efforts to find it's significance and take appropriate action.
I then put my Mac Pro to sleep, waited a bit, then depressed an arrow key: the machine woke from sleep normally. This "solves" the immediate problem of abnormal wakening - at least I'm satisfied that it does and will continue monitoring for any similar "misbehaviors."
Power Management: I have purposely avoided doing anything with Power Management once I had it set to my liking. That is, I set the screen to sleep in 1 hour, I set the hard drive to "never" (sleep) and only use the Sleep menu command to put the Mac Pro to sleep. My dictum is to "not fix what isn't proved to be broken." Again - if I continue to have problems or new problems crop up, I will then go ahead and start making changes such as those you mention. (Like deleting com.apple.PowerManagemetn.plist)
Next: I did already run permissions repair and may do so again anytime I see problems which could be connected to permissions. Since I have "taken Xgrid" out of the picture, I don't think this particular permissions issue is going to be a problem under my current set up.
CarbonCopyCloner: Here we have a bit of a conundrum. I need! to keep CCC "available" to run scheduled back up tasks. I was given (a very expensive) 1TB wireless backup drive for Xmas and - through long trial and error - found that CCC is the most appropriate back up application for that drive.
For now: I consider that the problem is a bug in CCC and will contact Mr. Bombich about this.
Again: I do appreciate your pointing out this and the other things. You have helped me think through what could have been a very complex process in trouble shooting.
I think that my issue turned out to be simple: I may have accidentally touched the wrong key or key combination when I moved to wake the Mac Pro from sleep. I think that Xgrid was a problem but that now seems to be eliminated. The Mac Pro is now waking normally - which was my original objective.
Oh, and just to be clear: I forgot to mention above that I did re-examine the System Log and there are now no signs of the items in the log I posted originally here.
