If I log out or restart my Mac, I need to re-authenicate to use iPhone mirroring. It is as if I reset iPhone access and need to set up mirroring access.....like I am using it for the first time. Is this normal? Anyone else having this issue?
 
According to this article:

there are settings in the iPhone Mirroring app that offer options like "Ask Every Time" and "Authenticate Automatically". What do your settings currently show?

I found that page with search terms: iphone mirroring

I have it set on Authenticate Automatically, but it keeps reverting back to Ask Every Time.

Update: I just tried it after having the Mac closed for a couple of hours, and the mirroring worked fine without asking me to authenticate again......so, maybe I screwed up before....don't know.
 
I have mine set to automatically authenticate, and it wants me to unlock my iPhone EVERY TIME. This kind of defeats the purpose of being able to mirror without having the phone nearby.
