macOS High Sierra's App Store System Preferences Can Be Unlocked With Any Password
A bug report submitted on Open Radar this week has revealed a security flaw in the current version of macOS High Sierra that allows the App Store menu in System Preferences to be unlocked with any password.
Is this supposed to be a feature?
Who cares? No macos users here.
the login just werks man, it's a feature
hmmm
How to log in as local admin on MacOS:
1) Click on 'Show Password Hint'
2) Copy hint into password textfield
Ooops sorry. I meant to say this:
1) Hit Enter with empty password until it works
Apple's back-end technology is usually pretty solid but clearly something is wrong with this release.
I guess that's why they named it High Sierra.
macOS user here, confirmed true
not a big deal, but makes you think about their code quality
