sequoia 15.1 screen lock issue involving iPhone mirroring

M1 iMac 2021-successful upgrade from Sonoma to Sequoia 15.1

I tried iPhone mirroring once. Set the authentication to automatic. This then "locked" "require password....off" to "immediate". This is an admin account

I opened iPhone mirroring a second time and "de-authenticated" my iPhone. Shut down and restart.


This does not release the setting.

I have a backup admin user account. All fine here so the issue is tied to the account, not global.


I am guessing there is a plist file that could be deleted? Which one or where to look?

iMac 24″, macOS 15.1
