Hi all

I am looking to set up my mom's MacBook, so that that MacOS doesn't require her to put in password each time she goes to use the computer. I did a search on the web and mostly get results for older versions of MacOS (not Sonoma). I am sure there is an easy fix, but not found it. Any suggestions or advice on fixing this problem would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Just be aware that doing so can leave her accounts, credit card numbers, etc., vulnerable should the laptop go missing or inappropriately accessed by a caretaker or someone.

I do understand that. She only uses this laptop to access Facebook, email, and web surfing. She doesn't make online purchases or access banking/financial information there. Just trying to make, it as easy as possible for her to get online.
