Have you ever tried to enter your username and password on your Mac to make a change, only for it to reject it, even though you know the password is correct?
Starting July 30th, we at Information Technology and Analytics are excited to introduce AuthenticationChecker, a new tool designed to address this common scenario faced by Mac users. Last year, we rolled out the Privileges.app to help make our Macs more secure, and it's been a great success. AuthenticationChecker is the latest enhancement to further improve this system.
AuthenticationChecker runs automatically in the background and detects when a user enters the correct username and password on a Mac but lacks the necessary admin rights. When this happens, a pop-up appears with a helpful knowledge base article and a button to directly launch the Privileges.app to elevate your rights.
