**Quick History:** I purchased a 2023 Macbook Pro 16" a few months ago and promptly *followed some guide that enables Smart Card authentication for DOD sites in Firefox.* I wish I knew all the actions I did, but I think my ADHD got the best of me cuz I don't seem to have documented anything.
**Issue:** When my Smart Card is inserted into my CAC reader, and I use
sudo
or try to unlock the screen, it prompts me for my Smart Card PIN instead of my local account's password or fingerprint.
**Questions:** I think I can fix it via a combination of sc_auth identities
and sc_auth unpair -h
*[hash]
*, but before I do that:
1. Will the commands above affect my ability to authenticate into work-related web sites and VPNs with my Smart Card, or does it strictly only remove authenticating into my laptop with my Smart Card?
2. What could I have done that paired my Smart Card to my local account (so that I can avoid doing this later)?
