Configure Login Screen

The login window screen settings in macOS devices can be customized through the System Preferences. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: We have published Keycard on macOS device but the branding which is applied does not reflect on the login page. Any reasons?
