Yosemite login twice

Since I upgraded to Yosemite I have to log in 2 times, especially after I wake up my computer after a sleeping time.
A first screen ask me to log in, in the background I see Yosemite original Wallpaper flouted.
Then a second screen appears and ask me to Log in again, this time I see my desktop wallpaper flouted (I customized it)
Strange isn't it ?
Could it be a kind of trojan ? Or is it a Yosemite bug ? How to solve this ?

The reason why this happens is because in settings you selected "Require password after sleep". What this means is that you need a password to wake up the Mac and then you need a password to to re-login.
It does not matter if you are using the same login details, you have to double authenticate. This usually happens after the computer has been left in sleep mode for some time. The first screen is a grey scale followed by the full color login screen with all users displayed.
I hope this answers your question.

Why do I have to login twice after sleep mode?

Until recently I have been able to login one time with a password to get to my desktop. Now I have to login twice and I have no idea why. I am running Yosemite, whatever the newest version is. I'm not too tech savvy, but have checked every setting I can think of to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Just to be clear, it's not normal to have to log in twice when FV is on. If you want to try to solve that problem, ask for instructions.

Login twice in same apex app by same user not possible

Hi,
In itself it is possible to login twice by same user in same appl.
But when using both apps on diff pages eachtime the user is prompted to login again.
Why is that and why cant'w we use the app twice by same user.
It is possible to use same app by same user twice
Thanks in advance,
Hugo

I think it is probably due to your cookie and the session state. I cannot use IE or FF to access the same application twice with the same id, otherwise if I do different searches or change pages, the sesiion in the other window gets confused and starts showing session state varibale from the other window. This is with two different windows (not tabs) of IE or FF running.
But, I can easily use IE, FF, and Chrome to access the same application with the same credentials, and everything will work as if I logged in with three different ids. I barely remember this 'problem' from 'the old days', and cookies had something to do with it. It "may" have been that the solution (in some cases, depending on what you and the app are doing), was during the authenication process that every app creates and uses a cookie with the same name.
Hope this helps some,

Login twice to Query Designer

Hi
We are facing an issue, where we have to login twice, when we start either the Query Designer or the Web Application Designer. When I start up, choose a system and logon, I get a pop up message saying "The standard transport system is active. SAP GUI connection is not activated for current connectoin to BI system. Do you want to reconnect to BI system and activate SAP GUI connection?" When I click "Yes", I have to logon again.
Is there a way to get around this popup?
Cheers,
Jacob Vennervald

Hi Jacob,
Go To RSA1---> Transport connection view
In the menu Edit -
>Transport----->Switch-off Standard.
Now try opening Query Designer.
Hope it helps!
Best regards,

Yosemite login screen position

Before Yosemite the login screen had the usernames and password box low on the screen. This was very nice for wearers of bifocals. With Yosemite the login screen places the users and password box up high, above the line of bifocals. This is an accessibility problem. Is there a way to move the users and password box back down on the Yosemite login screen?

How can I change the background blur effect on Yosemite login screen?

How can I turn off the background blur effect on the Yosemite login screen on my 27" iMac?
Each time my family changes to a different user on the iMac, the wallpaper blurs (other than the small login box). It is as if you have lost your vision temporarily when such a large display becomes blurred. It is particularly bad if there is a lot of contrast in the colors of the wallpaper.

Hi,
the VDI login screen/desktop selector uses the configured default locale from the Sun Ray kiosk session. You can change the default by logging into the Sun Ray admin UI (http://yourserver:1660) and selecting the Advanced - Kiosk Mode tab. Click on Edit and enter the desired locale (e.g. de_utf8) in the Locale field. Click OK to store your changes.
The next time a new kiosk session starts up it will take into account your changes. You can terminate all existing kiosk sessions by executing a cold Sun Ray services restart (see the Servers tab). Alternatively, you can also just quit your current kiosk session by clicking on "More Options - Quit" in the VDI login screen.
Please notice one caveat here: the specified locale must be supported on your system. For example, execute locale -a on a terminal to get a list of all your currently installed locales. If you specify a locale that does not exist on your system, then the kiosk session will ignore this and it will have no effect on the VDI login screen.
Hope that helps.

Forced to login twice

Recently I've been experiencing a weird issue with my macbook pro, and i'm not too sure what the first point of call should be to troubleshoot. Every time I log into my machine (macbook pro), it will without fail get me to log on twice. Basically it works as follows:
1) Boot up machine and it takes me to login screen (there are 2 user accouts on the mac)
2) Put in credentials - here it processes something for a while before my machine reboots
3) Takes me back to login screen without any acknowledgement of what happened
4) Login again and it takes me into my profile fine
I'm currently on Lion 10.7.2

UPDATE: I just heard back from PayPal, very quick response to my email actually (although when you first send it via the automated system, it emails you with a generic password issues email and you have to respond to that to get an actual human). But once I sent the second email, I got a very fast response. Here's my original email to PayPal: >>>My issue is that just in the last few weeks, I have to log in twice. The login on the PayPal home page won't accept my login like it used to, it always now sends me to a secondary login page where it says it needs more information from me. That login usually works, then takes me to the PayPal Verisign ID number entry page. So I have to enter my username and password twice, which is bothersome because I use a long password. It never used to do this before, I could always log in from the PayPal home page. So something has changed in your system, or it's a bug? There's a growing discussion about this problem in the PayPal Community, so I’m not the only one facing the problem: https://www.paypal-community.com/t#/About-Business/I-m-being-forced-to-login-twice-every-time-from-every-device/td-p/###### >>> And here's the response from PayPal: >>>Thank you for contacting PayPal Customer Support. My name is ____ and I am happy to assist you with logging in.
I do have a known issue about you having to log in multiple times. I have added your account to the ticket #141113-000212. In the mean time I would try and delete your cache and cookies or try a different internet browser to see if the same issue occurs. If it does still occur please know we are working to resolve the issue. Please let me know if you need further assistance.>>> I tried deleting the cache and cookies (Chrome) and trying another browser (Firefox) that I have set to never save cookies or cache but I still get the same multiple login request. So here's hoping they get it fixed soon, the good news is they're working on it.

Yosemite login screen

How to change Yosemite login screen background? I tried that library/ cache/ change photo with png format but it isn't work. It there any other way to change this Yosemite login screen blur back ground?

Also experiencing this on my Late-2013 15" rMBP...it wasn't present during the early OSX 10.10 betas but has been persistent over the last few and now with the full release.
I have done a full, clean install as well to see if something was fubared in the settings but nope. What a really silly issue to have. 10.10 wasn't ready for primetime, these aren't the type of bugs that people should be experiencing.
What I can say though is that for me, this issue is limited to when i'm using an external display. If I use my laptop without anything connected externally it doesn't happen.

Crazy Yosemite Login Screen.

After I upgraded to Yosemite on my MBP (early 2011), at least once every few days I will open my computer to a login screen that looks like this.
The screen is never frozen, and I can type in my password and log in, but it just looks crazy.
Also, sometimes if I open my computer within a few minutes of having previously closed it, it will load all my previous windows, freeze for a minute, show the login screen like it wants me to enter my password, and then it reverts back to allowing me continue my work.
These are two oddities that I noticed after installing Yosemite, and I just didn't know if anyone else had anything similar happen to them.
Also, before I upgraded OS X, my computer has been running pretty slow and I've observed a couple other weird glitches that I did not document.
Is it possible that my HDD is on the brink of failure?
Any input would be appreciated!

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Yosemite - login screen on low res

Hello all,
i'm facing strange issue. After update to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro Retina ( Mid 2012 ) login screen appears in low-res.
I've tried changing resolution and several restarts but no luck so far. Anyone had same issue?
Thanks for any advice.

All secure websites ask for login twice

I have banking, paypal, google, yahoo, Amazon, Netflix all say the first time I login that the user name or password is wrong and when I enter the same user name and same password the second time it logs on. Sounds like a key logger. Win 7 64, most current Firefox, fairly new win 7 install, new computer, New router Netgear 6300, Vipre Internet Security. This all just started on Wednesday.

A client-side keylogger isn't going to make you type everything twice. But a DNS hijacker might. Have you already changed those passwords?
Please check your connection setting here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
The default of "Use system proxy settings" will piggyback on your Windows/IE "LAN" settings. You could try "No proxy" to see whether that makes any difference.
Your system-level DNS servers can be discovered using a command prompt.
Start menu > search box, type '''cmd.exe''' and press Enter
At the prompt, type '''nslookup mozilla''.''org''' and press Enter
Windows should report your current DNS server by name and address, as well the info for mozilla.org. For example:
Server: cdns01.comcast.net
Address: 75.75.75.75
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: mozilla.org
Addresses: 2620:101:8008:5::2:1
63.245.215.20
If the server is not the one you normally associate with your internet service provider, or one you set up manually (e.g., for OpenDNS or Google Public DNS), then that would be suspicious. Note that DNS can be set in Windows and/or in your router.

Yosemite login fail

Every time I reboot my MacBook Pro running Yosemite, I get to the login screen and its choice of two users and "Guest." I choose my user name and get the status bar for a few moments. Once it gets to about 20% loaded, the screen goes black and it reboots again. This second time I am only offered the two users; no "Guest." I choose my user name, and this time everything works as expected and my account loads normally.
I am running 10.10.1 - though I began having this problem on 10.10.0 - though not initially.
2011 Macbook Pro with a 2.3 GHz Core i5, 16 GB memory, with a 128 GB internal SSD for the OS and apps, and a 1TB internal HDD for my data. Both drives are about half full.

Ok, I should have tried disabling the guest user before I posted. That seems to have fixed it. Though when I re-enabled it, the behavior returned. I'd like to be able to enable the guest user without getting this behavior. I remember at some point reading that there was a reason beyond guest access to enable the guest user, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is.
I am also wondering if the status bar is normal when loading my user account. There was no status bar in Mavericks, which loaded much more quickly. It's the sort of status bar I associate with a firmware update.

Login twice upon startup?

Hello All,
I recently upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks. I have a login screen where I enter my password. This is normal. But, now after the first login, the progress bar loads and then I'm presented with a second login screen. It looks exactly the same as the first, but now I can see my desktop picture in the faded background instead of the light gray of the first login screen. I repeat the same click on my user icon and enter my password and then I'm in. Finally.
When I noticed this change:
When I upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks, all was well and good except that my social widgets on the right sidebar were not showing up. I read a forum that suggested to refresh the UUID under "Users & Groups" System Preferences. After I refreshed and restarted, I noticed that this double login screen issue showed up. Has this happened to anyone else and do you have a solution? Thanks!!

I have filewault turned on, but everytime I have to login, typical from standby, there's a black screen with an apple logo (no progression bar) for a few seconds. Then i come to my login screen. Here i type my password, and the login screen pops up again, like the first login screen sits on top like another layer. That led me to wondering if i could have somekind of malware on my mac.
Does anyone have the same issue, and most importantly, what caused it? Because there should only be a single login screen, right?

Yosemite login question

Hi everyone,
**Sorry if this has already been asked, I looked and couldn't spot anything**
I've updated my MacBook Pro to Yosemite, and it seems to be working well.
The only thing i've got is that on the login page, it displays a grey screen, with just the black generic person outline, and under it says [update needed].
It then takes longer to log in than i'd expect.
There aren't any other App store updates for me to install, so i'm not sure what it means by 'update needed'.
Has anyone else seen this or does anyone have any ideas?
Ta!

I have the same problem after having used Yosemite for a day with FileVault on, then shutting down and starting the computer again. I logged into that account in question, saw the progress bar without caption (probably meaning that the update was being performed) and was taken back to the login screen, now with the user image originally used for that account. However, now the account won't accept the original password any more. I will try to reset it via the Admin account which was not affected by the problem.

J_security_check error 404 login twice.

Hi, i encountered a problem with authentication based on form and containter. I have a login.xhtml (later mapped to login.jsf) page that contains:
<form action="j_security_check" method="post">
                        <div style="clear: both">
                            User:
                            <input type="text" name="j_username" size="25" class="textfield" tabindex="1"></input>
                            <input type="reset" value="Reset" class="button" tabindex="4"></input>
                        </div>
                        <div style="clear: both">
                            Password:
                            <input type="password" size="25" name="j_password" class="textfield" tabindex="2"></input>
                            <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="button" tabindex="3"></input>
                        </div>
                    </form>The authorisation is based on LDAP. The problem is when i open this login page in two separate tabs in the same browser. I log in to restricted page in the first tab, everything is ok. But when i try to log in in the second tab while still being logged in the first tab, i get error 404 service not available. Any ideas how to deal with such situation?

what do you get when you enter in an invalid username/password - your logonError.jsp? page
How do you access this page - is your destination page available, and working?
I take it you are trying to access /RnsttHome.jsp
Check the spelling of your URL - maybe try accessing another file under securlty to see if that one works?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-- It doesn't really matter whether I enter a correct username/password or an invalid one, cause I get the 404 Error. I am not re-directed to the logonError.jsp at all. I can only see that the browser is looking for J_security_check...at least that's what is written on the url when I get the 404 error.
e.g.
http://localhost/myapplication/j_security_check
-- The destination page is RnsttHone.jsp and it is working fine.I don't think that this is the problem.
-- I have tried accessing other files as well.That's not the problem.They all have the same problem with j_security_check...
