My Mac Studioʻs (Monterey) screensaver keeps popping up asking for my password while Iʻm editing in FCPX. If I do leave it idle all I need to do is use he Touch ID. Why would this suddenly change and just start popping my screensaver requesting my password?

THX for any help.

Check System Settings, you may have a “hot spot” set that is triggering the screen saver.

Ben, that seemed to be the problem. Thanks.

On the Mac Studio:

System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver > Hot Corners

That’s a bug from almost two years ago, it’s been fixed with macOS updates since.
