How to enable automatic login on iMac after Tahoe update?

I don't want to have to log in every time I turn on my iMac. I could change the login setting before, but since updating to Tahoe I can't find anywhere to turn it off. I'm not worried about security. Anybody know how to do that?

System Settings > Lock Screen, set the Require password… option to Never. If that option is grayed out, open the iPhone Mirroring app (in the Applications folder), go to iPhone Mirroring menu > Settings, and set it to Ask every time. Then return to the Lock Screen settings and select Never.


Note that you need to change the iPhone Mirroring setting even if you don’t and/or don’t plan to mirror an iPhone.
