This used to happen to me and I was very annoyed. Felt like a major security hole.
But now I get a scrambled image before the login prompt. Are you on the latest macOS?
- stcredzero 8y agoI also get the scrambled image as well. I am on the latest, last I checked. I generally keep updated.
- rleigh 8y agoI got this just two weeks back, fully up to date 2015 MPB. I was shocked that this could happen; I could even click around on the desktop for a few seconds before it locked up, and I had to hit Esc for the login screen to appear. I didn't even realise it was locked the first time it happened. A very visible reminder about software quality at Apple.
