Is there an app that turns off Mac passcode when on a certain WiFi network?

SimpliApple January 30, 2013

Hey guys!

Does anyone know of an app that turns off your Mac’s password when you are on a certain WiFi network? For example, if I was at school, the passcode would be on. But once I get home, it would recognise that WiFi network and turn off the passcode. To me it seems like a great idea because I don’t need a passcode at home!

Let me know anything similar to this. Thanks! ;)

    Good Passwords provide some protection no matter where you are when your computer is connected to the internet. I hope your WiFi network is secured and fire-walled.

    There is an app called MarcoPolo which is capable to do a multitude of things based on locations. However, it is no longer supported so certain things may not work anymore ~ if at all.

    Various alternatives are listed by the author further down on the page.
