Must supply password for each signing after resetting macOS account password #260

Closed djc closed 3 years ago

djc commented 3 years ago

I picked a new password recently for my new 2021 16" laptop and then promptly forgot it again. In order to get in, I used the process detailed in https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212190 under "Use the Reset Password assistant". After restarting again I had to set up a new secret in Secretive (which is fine), but now for each connection setup, I am prompted to pass in my user account password again to access the secure enclave key.

I tried to go through the "Setup Secretive" process again, but that doesn't seem to help. I was wondering about setting up extra permissions for the SecretAgent in the Security & Privacy preferences, but can't figure out what it needs (and there is no prompt for it).

Any suggestions on what else to try to reset it to a clean state?

(Thanks for maintaining Secretive, I've been a happy user for a long time now!)

Duh, I had to re-enroll myself in Touch ID which I hadn't yet done. Sorry for the noise!
