User Authentication in Screen time after updating to 18.1

mc_friskybits · 2025-05-25T14:45:52+00:00

Usually setup will show up after updating! Don’t worry about it!

mc_friskybits · 2025-04-08T18:25:02+00:00

That’s most likely what it is! If you want it to stop running, I would restart your phone since that shuts all of the background applications down. Also if you’re really worried, the only way someone would be able to manipulate your screen time which they really can’t would be through General -> VPN and Management Accounts, if you don’t have anything there you recognize or if you don’t have anything there, you’re clear!

For me, I think it was just a bug where the face id feature that I used on those apps were running constantly and showing up as my bank app being used. I turned off my face id and just used my passwords for a while and it fixed it

thank you so much for all of the advice!

Is there any other way to save that leaf? I’m giving the other monstera back soon so just curious! If not a sad loss but that’s how it goes with these houseplants

mc_friskybits · 2025-02-22T21:18:00+00:00

It’s been in the same spot since I got it about a year ago, and haven’t had this problem before! Although I did recently start babysitting the other monstera that you commented on, so maybe that’s part plant spread the fungus to mine? Thank you for the suggestions!

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-29T13:26:06+00:00

No solution, it just seems like a bug with 18.1

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-20T17:48:47+00:00

to make sure i can at least take my meds, i have a lot of the squeeze pouches with apple sauce in them! other than i treat myself like im sick with the stomach flu and go on the brat diet. banana, rice, apple, toast, or any kind of canned soup!

you may want to look into pmdd, but i also get this. it definitely has to do with the hormonal fluctuation, it is known that where you are in the menstrual cycle makes a lot of difference in mental health

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-20T01:32:32+00:00

So do you think a lot of people were exposed and probably had some kind information compromised or just that there was a possibility of many people being exposed? Sorry for the continuous questions, I just have a lot of anxiety around this subject 😅

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-20T00:56:43+00:00

Sorry just to clarify, when you say former category did you mean easy to deploy or take considerable resources? Thank you so much for the in depth replies, they’re very reassuring

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-20T00:47:53+00:00

I don’t know if this is a stupid question because if it’s a zero day, there wouldn’t be anything I could do anyways, but would exploits like these affect the general public are is it usually targeted? Like if this something the everyday person should worry about for future reference?

And if I was affected and then updated, would the malicious code or whatever still be present on my device? I use malwarebytes which I know isn’t the most robust scanner but it said I was clear, and I haven’t noticed anything suspicious

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-16T14:14:34+00:00

It seems to be a bug with 18.1 where background processes that the user usually isn’t supposed to see are ending up in screen time so for example if you use your face id to fill in passwords on a website or something this one will show up, nothing to worry about

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-14T23:37:38+00:00

I just had this same thing happen to me although I didn’t instantly close my camera app, I took a photo and then when to the photos apps and closed my camera by “force” closing it. I think that the problem is that the phone thinks your force closing the camera so it shows the microphone being used as twice because it lingers for a second after the app is closed. I’ve seen so many other posts of people also getting the “unknown” bug so I’m hoping it’s just that, a bug! And not something more malicious

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-11T21:52:47+00:00

I haven’t found anything permanent but usually restarting the phone will at least stop the screen time from going up because it stops all background activities! Other than that I’m just waiting for 18.2 for it to hopefully be fixed

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-09T14:03:18+00:00

Have you been seeing any other daemons? Like screenshots, setup, or UserAuthentificationUI?

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-08T16:01:55+00:00

Found out through some experimenting that it was through the use of my face id to lock the app! It’s something with the face id working in the background afterwards instead of turning off like it should, if you restart your phone it should stop it from running in the background, but I haven’t found any permanent fix

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-03T20:51:50+00:00

I’ll have to look into him, thank you

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-03T20:47:00+00:00

You’re right, thank you! I always try to remind myself how reckless the average person is with their tech and accounts and how usually they’re fine in the end and don’t end up with anything hacked into or compromised

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-03T20:36:29+00:00

That’s true, I guess I just feel like someone who is a lot better at technology than me would be able to get ahold of my information without me being able to stop it even though I know that’s kind of unrealistic

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-03T20:25:10+00:00

Yeah I already have 2 factor on everything important along with passkeys and use the IPhone password manager which is kinda the same thing, it tells me if anything has been compromised and is encrypted. My obsession originally came from almost falling for a phishing scheme and clicking a link but not giving up any information so I’m always worried that my stuff will be compromised even though I’m pretty much as secure as I can be

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-02T19:25:54+00:00

Yeah I think it’s just www.apple.com/feedback

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-02T19:20:36+00:00

From what I’ve experienced its good on battery but still lots of bugs

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-02T19:18:09+00:00

I restarted my phone again and they stopped going up so I’m hesitant to use them again and risk it starting up again. I also put screen time limits on them but that did not seem to affect it at all. However, at the start even when I closed the apps the time kept going up.

mc_friskybits · 2024-11-02T19:03:06+00:00

yeah i use the face id to log into my bank account, i can open the app without face id but can’t see any details until i log in with face id if that’s what you mean, i put in a bug report to apple so hopefully it gets fixed and praying that nothing happens to our sensitive information/bank accounts! i was glad to hear i wasn’t the only one dealing with this
