These configurations allow you to display a list of users, adjust the appearance of the login window, show control buttons, and more. The login window will appear based on the configured preferences, such as when the user logs out, wakes up the Mac from sleep mode, or tries to access the screen from screensaver mode. Scalefusion as an MDM provides feature to remotely configure login window settings for macOS devices. With the **Target OS** feature, administrators can choose whether to enforce these login configurations on **Windows**, **macOS**, or both operating systems simultaneously from a single Keycard configuration profile.

Any reasons? **Answer:** This could be because **FileVault** is enabled on your device.
