Understood now, and noted.
may just leave it alone as it is less critical then say, logging in at all laughs.

In iOS, you cannot download apps from third-party sites, you have no choice but 
to use the App store. As a result, every app is vetted by Apple before 
submission. The other result is that if someone wants you to run they're 
program, they have to submit the app directly to Apple. The Mac however is a  
different animal. We can use Safari to download directly and the system is not 
directly sandboxed. Take Zoom. To use it on the iPhone, App  store, no other 
way though it might work through Safari. However, there is no Zoom app on the 
Mac App store. There are some things that will work with Zoom, but if you want 
the actual program the company provides, you have to go to there website. It’s 
a safe app to download, but I don’t know if you restrict your downloads if that 
one would work for instance. My point though is that if you only download apps 
from people you know, then you don’t have to worry about security measures that 
may or may not hamper your Mac experience.

Is not that what is meant by trusted developers though?  My understanding is 
that limiting downloads can protect   you from bugs and viruses.
I know nothing about the IOS store, having no iPhone.

I think the possible time goes into the hours. As for the app store apps, keep 
in mind that the Mac app store is not like the one for iOS. I suppose m1 users 
might have a bit more flex-ability in this manner with Catalyst, but I would 
not want to limit my app download options for the Mac since most will come from 
third-party sites.

hi folks,
I may wait to address this, but since my hmemate and I will be addressing the 
log in password request happening every time a awaken the mac tomorrow, thought 
I would ask about this.
I understand from another, and far more informed apple accessibility team 
member that I can either turn off the password request, or decide how often I 
want the request to happen, anyone have an idea how much time is possible?
Also, thoughts on the safety of allowing downloads only from the apple store, 
and  trusted developers?
Thanks,
Kare
