| Feb 19, 2017 at 1:39 | comment | added | Nate | I too had this problem in 10.12.3. Toggling “Require password” did not fix it. It persisted even after a reboot. I changed the “5 seconds” to “Immediate”, put the computer to sleep, and it worked. I was then able to change it back to “5 seconds” and it worked again. Preferences corruption? In any case this is a severe security vulnerability. There should be no way the password lock ever fails. Especially since you won’t know it failed until the next time you open your computer. | |

In System > Preferences > Security & Preferences, uncheck 'Require Password .. after sleep or Screen Saver begins." Put the computer into sleep for a while. Wake it up, go to the same screen and check 'Require Password .. after sleep or screen saver begins." | |
| Nov 1, 2016 at 19:21 | comment | added | steinybot | Any idea why this wouldn't work? It was working on the previous version of Sierra but after updating to 10.12.1 it no longer asks for a password. Sometime if I go into these settings and toggle it off and on again it works but does not persist forever. Seems like a pretty major security flaw. | |
