Previously, screen sharing to Catalina (10.15.7) from Big Sur (11.1) using terminal:
vnc://[user]:[password]@[host].local
would open a screen sharing session without having to enter a password. After the Big Sur 11.2 upgrade, Catalina now displays the login screen and asks for the password. How can I correctly pass the password to the screen sharing session and bypass the login screen?
