Auto delete verification codes in Sonoma 14.7.4 not staying "on" in the password options.

Hello,

My auto "delete after use" option seems to be working fine when it is check on my Mac Book Air M1, but my issue is that it is not staying on the "on" position for a long time. I have to reactivate it on a regular basis.

Any ideas how to fix that ?

Thanks

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.7

Did you remember to update the SMS forwarding on your phone to enable forwarding to the new MacBook?


On the iPhone: Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding > {MacName} -- enable the slider.
