After updating to Sierra, Mac prompts for a pas...

Hello. I've updated the MacBook to Sierra. Previously, it was set El Capitan. During Sierra settings, the system said that I can not use a previous password as it coincides with the password iCLoud. I changed password to a new one. Now when I turn on the MacBook I have to enter the password twice. First, the system asks me my previous password, which stood on El Capitan previously.

Then the system asks me a new password that is on the Sierra.

Tell me what to do? Thanks!

I've got the same problem. Tried to find the File Vault on my laptop, but searching for it, didn't seem to help and I appear not to have it.

File Vault is not an application. It is a security feature that encrypts the contents of your drive.

I stay away from it, because for me the risk of losing access to my data is greater than the risk of someone else getting it. If that is your case, you should turn if off. Only you can make that call, of course.

Before you do anything: you do have a full backup of your system, don't you?

File Vault is turned on or off in System Preferences->Security & Privacy->File Vault

Note that decrypting or encrypting a full drive may take a long time, and your system may become slow while this is taking place.

I have a very similar problem, except FileVault is turned off. Its not two separated login windows its the normal login window with translucent cover over generic background, and then it refreshes after i login and i have to login again.     This happens everytime.     

I'm having the exact same behavior and the exact same conditions.

Have to same problem. Anyone has already fixed the problem?  The problem is when i restart my new macbook pro. I have to enter iCloud psw on the first screen and after a while I have to enter system psw. Any ideas?

thank you

Hi Paul,  I'm having the same issue..

Just upgraded to Sierra.

File vault if turned off

And I need to log in twice.

Did you find a fix?

Turning off file vault fixed it for me (after also changing settings in Security & Privacy/General/uncheck "require password" and also in Users & Groups/Login Options/make sure your name is in the Automatic Login (you may need to click the lock and enter a password to make changes). This was driving me crazy, but doing those three things finally fixed the problem for me. (You may need to restart once before the changes take effect.)

Not the issue. I turned FileVault Off and I still have to log in twice and I have to enter my icloud password EVERYTIME I log in.

I followed the "turn off" command line process describing filevault however it says, Domain not found.

enable automatic login for FileVault

This doesn't sound like a good solution. One thing that came up when I was upgrading to Sierra was that my password was the same as iCloud and it prompted me to have a different password.

Those are the 2 passwords I have to enter.

The solution I found was to turn off file vault let the machine decrypt and, once done, turning it on again to encrypt the machine once more.

Both of these take a little time (in my case about 20 minutes).

I had the same problem after upgrading to Sierra, and I found the solution here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/159961/change-osx-encryption-filevault- password-to-match-login-pass

if you change password via

Settings > Users & Groups > Change Password ...

you will be prompted twice, once for the File Vault original password and again for the new account password. However if you change the password via

Settings > Security & Privacy > Change Password ...

both will be updated, noting that you will be required to enter the account password not the File Vault original password, so you can reset the File Vault password by entering your new password three times.

This worked for me, and now I don't have to enter two passwords when I restart.

GREAT!! Tks.
