This is super scary. Yesterday I closed my MacBook's lid in the evening. The next morning I opened the lid and my MacBook didn't ask me for my password. I was already logged in.

enter image description here

This seems like a bug, but how can I trust that my Mac to lock my user when I close the lid? I think I will have to logout which is annoying. Has anyone experienced this before?

  • Can you add a screenshot of the 'System Preferences > Energy Saver' pane for both the 'Battery' and 'Power Adapter' tabs? It's possible one of the settings in this area is affecting the sleep habits of your Mac. – NYKg Jan 20 '17 at 21:27
  • Try resetting your SMC. – Oion Akif Jan 23 '17 at 16:41
  • @SkeletonBow it happened once. But that's the problem isn't it? security should never fail. –  Jan 24 '17 at 05:48
  • That's correct. Maybe you could try contacting Apple about it, though with an issue like this (which is so intermittent and seemingly unreproducible), I'm not sure it'll do a lot of good – Oion Akif Jan 24 '17 at 17:29
  • Do you remember if the laptop had logged in instantly? Or did it have to wake up from sleep, and then log in itself? If it's the latter, then it would be more of an issue with your laptop not going to sleep on time – Oion Akif Jan 24 '17 at 17:31
  • @SkeletonBow I think your spot on, screen was on. –  Mar 16 '17 at 18:27
