Hi there. A few months ago, when I first got my first Mac, I read an online article detailing 'security' tips/tricks for keeping your Mac safe from outside influences. One of the tips recommended to make a separate 'Admin' account, and then a 'User' account, and to only use your Mac on the User account. Fine. However, one of the other tips recommended a setting that makes the OS ask for 'authentication' (the admin name and password) whenever installing or uninstalling a program. This was fine for awhile, but I'm finding it very annoying now. I totally forget how I activated this setting though, so I forget how to turn it off, and I also forget which article it was and I can't find the answer.
I know the admin name and password, so that isn't the problem. The problem is that I find having to authenticate every time I want to install or uninstall a program to be quite annoying so I'd like to turn it off now. Anyone know how to do this?
