Three jobs. Different kinds of access.
| Access | What it supports | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | Capturing frames for enrollment and local recognition. | Whether Lunlo is allowed to use the selected camera. |
| Accessibility | Typing the saved Mac password after the app’s checks pass. | Whether the installed Lunlo app is authorized to control the Mac. |
| Keyboard listening | Noticing the Space key when that scan trigger is selected. | The app’s input-access check; a separate Input Monitoring entry may not appear. |
These permissions do not create a face enrollment, confirm membership or authorize access to the local password vault. Those are separate steps in Lunlo’s unlock sequence.
Camera access supplies frames for recognition.
To review camera access, open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera. Apple shows apps that have requested camera access, so an app may not appear before its first request. The website’s film and interactive illustration do not request your camera.
A permission grant and a working camera are different checks. If a camera is unavailable, covered or selected incorrectly, changing permissions alone will not provide a usable image. Apple explains the controls in its camera-access guide.
Accessibility enables the password-entry step.
Lunlo’s design uses Accessibility to submit the password stored on your Mac. It does not add a new authentication method to macOS. Review this permission at System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and identify the app you intend to authorize.
Apple describes this access in its Accessibility permissions guide. Granting access does not establish that face recognition is accurate or that a real unlock has passed testing.
The Space trigger has its own input check.
The development implementation listens for the Space key while locked and using that trigger. macOS may satisfy its input-listening check through Accessibility, so a missing separate Input Monitoring entry is not, by itself, proof that something is broken.
If the app reports denied input access, review System Settings → Privacy & Security → Input Monitoring. Apple’s input-monitoring guide explains that control. The hover trigger is a separate way to request a scan; neither trigger removes the need for Camera, Accessibility and a valid account decision.
Review access when you change your setup.
When a future release is configured, follow the app’s actual permission status rather than changing unrelated Mac settings. If a step remains blocked, use the troubleshooting guide to distinguish permission, account and recognition problems.
If you stop using Lunlo, review its permissions and its local-data controls. Removing a permission is separate from removing stored information or managing a subscription.
