Anyone had any luck with creating a macro that will change to another user via fast user switching and also enter the password? I know that no password would work, but it’s not THAT low a secure environment!! So I need to keep a password on all accounts.
Would like to have a macro to change accounts that would enter the password.
I’ve done a fair amount with AppleScript but still can’t get it. (system events etc.etc.)
Anyone?
thanx
Hey Troy,
This is probably a good prospect:

I got quite a few hits from Googling “osx script switch user” too.

I found that applet, at the link you provided before.
I can’t get it to work for some reason.
I keep entering the information, and it says it will auto log in the next open of the app. but it doesn’t.
Yes, I’ve found plenty of info, but nothing that I can get to work.
Hey Troy,
Yeah, it's broken.
With El Capitan Apple really started tightening up security, and a number of things like this no longer work.
I'll look into it some more if/when I have time.
