View Full Version : MacOS displays screen contents even if locked

If "Turn display off on power adapter when inactive" is set and locks a screen after the timeout value, on next attempt to unlock the screen for a split second it will display the contents of all monitors then present the password prompt. This is a big security or privacy issue if someone can see contents of screens if it is supposed to be locked. I am able replicate this issue with multiple Macs. Anyone else experience this?

Hello, what version of the OS and DisplayLink Manager did you see this issue with?
If there are more than one OS and driver versions, would you be able to provide us with a list?

I have the same problem.
Running Macos Sonoma 14.2.1 on a Macbook Air M2.
Displaylink Manager 1.10.0 (build 117).
After locking my screen and coming back, I can see for a second or 2 the content what is running before seeing the lock screen again.
