    2 days ago, waking my 2020 MBP 16" from sleep, it didn't accept my system password.

    Startup Security Utility Password

    The T2 chip and Apple SSD is more interweaved than I or the Apple Tech Support thought. I installed a Samsung Nvme 970 Evo Plus via Pcie slot in my 2019 Mac Pro to serve as the OS drive. This would leave the original 4TB Apple SSD that the Mac came with as my Media drive for video editing...

    Constantly asking to log in with Apple ID

    See attached, I'm constantly getting this and I've logged in 30 times probably. Same issue on my MacBook Pro as my iMac. Anyone else seeing this? It goes away for a second after a couple entries but then comes back as a badge and wants me to put in my password again. Driving me crazy.
