Hello everyone. This has never happened before. When I went to log on to my computer (Apple Mini 2014 running Mojave 10.14.6) this is what showed up on the screen. "Unlocking with Apple Watch is not available while your screen is being shared."
I had to enter my password to log in. I am not sharing my screen, don't even know how to lol. The screen was acting weird also. Have I been hacked or something? I do use my Apple Watch to log in. I have an Apple iPad 6 running 12.4.1. Can someone Please help me figure out what is going on. I am not using screen sharing, but that is what popped up on the screen. Thanks.
 
Go to System Preferences > Sharing and make sure screen sharing is unchecked.
 
It was/is unchecked. I have a MacBook Air 2018 Retina and it is unchecked on that also. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Is the Screen Sharing app running by chance? Log out and back in? Restart?
