Asks for password three times each time I wake computer from sleep #94

Each time I wake my 2016 MBP it asks for my password (possibly the same as #4?). If I hit cancel it asks two more times before it gives up and stops asking. Turbo boost stays disabled the entire time so I'm not sure why it keeps asking for the password.

Yes, it's the same reason. That's because after a long sleep period, Turbo Boost is enabled again by OSX internally and if configured so, the app needs to disable Turbo Boost again by itself. It's explained also on other old posts.

Best regards.

@rugarciap but in your answer in #4 you said

What has been done on version 1.2 was to remove the need of entering the password each time the computer comes back from sleep, and storing it per session so the user needs to enter it once.

this seems like a regression since it is doing that again?

It's not.., it's just the way the authentication api and osx works. Read the comments to other issues, it's all there. If you've got any additional doubts about how to bypass this you can write me to my contact address (it's in the blog), since this is for reporting issues, not a support platform.

Best.
