How to turn off log in after sleep? Trying to set up my Mac mini running Monterey. As I type this I'm not sure if it is after sleep or screen saver or both. When I go to use the Mini it requires I again enter my password. I am literally the only person who uses this Mini so access isn't a concern. How do I turn off the password requirement? Thank you for your help and assistance
