Disable Password on Wakeup for macOS 15.0

I see that this has been asked before, but the link seems to be terminated.

A solution has been propose: “Go to System Settings (available from the Apple menu  (top left) > System Settings), then scroll-down in the sidebar and choose Lock Screen. Then, change the "Require password after screen saver begins or display is turned off" setting to never.”

I tried this but when I got to the Lock Screen, I found this — The “Require password after screen saver begins or display is turned off”. I cannot change this. (See the screenshot below)

I am running an iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019, with the new upgraded macOS Sequoia 15.0

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated?

SOLUTION

For some reason its to do with iphone mirroring.

Launch the app iPhone mirroring.

In the app Settings, change iPhone Mirroring from automatically authenticating to manual.

Then in System Settings > Lock Screen > Require Password --- is free to select

Thank you for this. It's so irritating when, after updating the OS, and add something like this phone mirroring and other settings get changed with no explanation. Then, we spend an hour (if we're lucky) finding out how to fix it. So, thanks again!
