1P_Dave I've had it working OK for the last 24 hours and time will tell. I did a lot of research online and find a page that seems to have worked (as I wrote time will tell).

FutureOak if it helps, these were the instructions...

* Open Keychain Access, under View menu make sure 'show hidden items' is enabled.
* Search for 'auto unlock' select all the auto unlock entries, right click and delete them.

The instructions for setting are different on Ventura (settings ➜ Login Passwrod)
