MacBook Pro does not sleep/require password at all I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro: a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports).

And here is the issue: It will not sleep/require password automatically pretty much at all. This is both a battery saving issue and a security issue for me.

My settings are as follows:


Require password immediately after sleep or screen saver.
Disable automatic login
Turn display off after 1 minute when using battery
Turn display off after 1 minute when using power adapter


I've had mixed results, and noticed this behavior is not deterministic. I'm really frustrated that my brand new MacBook Pro is behaving this way, and I'm considering returning it. 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Possible System Management Controller (SMC) issue?  Can you try a SMC reset and test your conditions again?

What the SMC does.  The SMC is responsible for these and other low-level functions on Intel-based Mac computers:


Responding to presses of the power button
Responding to the display lid opening and closing on Mac notebooks
Battery management
Thermal management
Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS)
Ambient light sensing
Keyboard backlighting
Status indicator light (SIL) management
Battery status indicator lights
Selecting an external (instead of internal) video source for some iMac displays
