Disable Automatic Logons When automatic logins are enabled, the default user account is automatically logged in at boot time without prompting the user for a password. Even if the screen is later locked, a malicious user would be able to reboot the computer in order to log in. Disabling automatic logins mitigates this risk.


Parameter:

[enable/disable]


Technical Mechanism:

To check if the system if configured to automatically log in, run the following command: system_profiler SPConfigurationProfileDataType | grep DisableAutoLoginClient If 'com.apple.login.mcx.DisableAutoLoginClient' is not set to '1', this is a finding.
