          „Bug“ and „macOS“ in one sentence? Never heard that before. But I also don‘t usually hear about macOS at all at GSMAren, just now as there is a bug

                Apple don't have any problem, no issue for OS ,everything runs so smooth, everything that you saw here in GSMARENA against apple,. is a fake news. trust me your just understanding it wrong.

                  The mac os makes anything easy and user friendly for anybody... including those who wants to access without password.

                      "Needless to say, this is bad. However, here's the quick fix you can ensure you apply until Apple patches the bug."

                      Apple actually doesn't have to "fix" anything, this was intended to help out users if they forgot their passwords. You're just using it wrong, right? ;-)
