Face unlock for Mac, with the details explained.
Understand Lunlo's approach to Mac face unlock, local password storage, supported development targets and the limits of the current preview.
What happens between a scan and an unlock attempt.
Follow Lunlo's intended unlock sequence: local enrollment, membership verification, face matching, liveness checks and controlled password entry.
Check the Mac, the camera and the session.
Check Lunlo's Apple Silicon and macOS 15 development target, camera and permission requirements, and the login situations it does not support.
More than one way back in.
Compare a Mac password, Touch ID, Apple Watch Auto Unlock, and the Lunlo preview by hardware, setup, startup behavior, and current availability.
Know what stays yours.
A closer look at local recognition, permissions, and practical limits.
Convenience deserves clear limits.
Understand Lunlo’s local face recognition, encrypted password storage, account checks, webcam limitations, and the security testing still required.
A face match and a liveness result answer different questions.
Learn how Lunlo separates face matching from liveness checks, why ordinary RGB cameras have limits, and which validation is still outstanding.
Prepare each part of the intended setup.
Understand Lunlo's intended setup, including account access, camera permissions, the local password vault, enrollment and checks before use.
Find the step that stopped before changing settings.

Everyday questions.
Know what happens when permissions, passwords, connections or plans change.
Lunlo’s Mac permissions, explained.
Understand why Lunlo uses Camera and Accessibility permissions, how the Space trigger checks keyboard access, and where to review macOS permissions.
Mac lock screen or startup login?
See why Lunlo targets an already signed-in Mac session, what changes after restart or logout, and why FileVault and normal password login remain separate.
Where Lunlo keeps your face data.
See what Lunlo's local enrollment record contains, how its encrypted storage works, and how disabling, recapturing and deleting a face differ.
Local recognition. An online check before each scan.
Understand Lunlo's online membership check, what happens offline, and why signing in or checking your plan does not create lasting unlock permission.
A new Mac password needs a new saved copy.
Learn how Lunlo's saved Mac password differs from your account sign-in, which Change control to use, and why a successful save is not a login test.
