I recently upgraded to Sequoia 15.1 (24B83).

And now I can't disable my Mac asking for my password very time I exit the screensaver. Under System Settings > Lock Screen the "require password" selection is set to

immediately
and it's grayed out.

I've disabled, from my iPhone, mirroring from this Mac, which I found from some Google search. But to now avail.

This isn't a huge deal, but I'd still like to go straight from screensaver back to my Mac, no password required.

What can I do?

I have the same problem. How can we fix this? Immediately is grayed out.

I recently upgraded to Sequoia 15.1 (24B83).

Now, I can't disable "Require password after screen saver begins or display is turned off."

The text below that setting states: "Password immediately required when iPhone Mirroring is set to automatically authenticate."

You need to go into iPhone Mirroring and change the "Require Mac login to access iPhone" setting to 'Ask every time'. Even if you revoked access, you still need to go back in and change the setting. Seems to be a bug/oversight that Apple isn't reverting the setting when access is revoked.

this happened to me. but I think it is because I have FileVault on.
FileVault shouldn't have anything to do with this. I have mine turned on and can change it.
