Re: Log in window problem

Oh, wow! No, the situation as you describe is the same as I am having. If I push any key when it says login Caitlyn Furness it’s fine. I still wonder if there’s any way to stop this, perhaps by making the sleep time longer?? Thanks, Cait > On Feb 23, 2022, at 9:07 AM, Phil Halton wrote: >

Re: Command+Touch ID not turning on Voiceover

Re: Spelling Last Spoken Phrase But Not Phonetically?
