AppleInsider provides a guide on how to customize the Lock Screen message on your macOS device. This feature, often overlooked, allows users to add a personalized message that appears before login. You can display helpful information, contact details, or reminders. The process is simple, involving a few steps within System Settings.

The ability to add a custom message offers practical benefits. For instance, it provides a space for a password hint or contact information for a lost device. Businesses can use this feature to identify company-owned computers. The feature has existed for a while, but many users are unaware of the customization options.

To add a message, go to System Settings, then Lock Screen, and enable "Show message when locked." You can then click "Set..." to enter your desired text. Removing the message is equally straightforward; simply toggle the option off. A Terminal command can also be used to remove the message in certain situations.

Customizing the Lock Screen message is a small but useful tweak for macOS users. It adds a layer of personalization and can prove handy in various scenarios, from providing password assistance to displaying important contact details. This is yet another way Apple offers users control over their devices.
