We have observed significant UI changes to the SFUnlock login experience in the latest macOS Golden Gate Beta.

After entering the account password at the SFUnlock screen,user has to click on Use Password button once and then click on the OK button to proceed to the desktop and for the login process to continue successfully. This behaviour is consistently reproducible in our testing.

We would like to understand:

1.Is this a known issue with the current macOS Golden Gate Beta?

2.Is this expected behaviour due to the UI redesign, or is it considered a bug?

3.If it is a known issue, is there a fix planned for an upcoming beta or the final release?

Any information or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

I’d like to clarify what you mean by “SFUnlock UI”. There’s no SFUnlock symbol, so I suspect you’re using this as a shorthand for something. Are you talking about:

An authorisation plug-in
With a mechanism that you install into system.login.screensaver
That uses SFAuthorizationPluginView to present a custom UI to unlock the screen?

Yes , I meant the SFAuthorizationPluginView of MAC. We are trying to authenticate-session-owner-or-admin in system.login.screensaver authorisation db.
