[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1946917, member: 204485"] If you click on the question mark (bottom right) of the screen you will see explanations of the settings on that window. Note in Automatically Login there is this proviso; [TD][I]Note: [/I]Automatic login allows anyone to access your Mac simply by restarting it. If automatic login is enabled, make sure your Mac doesn’t automatically log in an administrator. When FileVault is turned on, automatic login is disabled.[/TD] So, if you have File Vault turned on it wont work and because you are an Admin...well, it's possible that the iMac will still require you to login from Off but maybe not from sleep or restart. Apple has kinda imposed a lot of security "safety nets" on us of late and while they say this is for our own good they sometimes clash with what we want. Personally my Apple Watch logs me into my Mac automatically. [/QUOTE]
