## Installation

_macOS Sonoma 14.0 or greater is required_

1. Move BetterLogin.bundle to /Library/Application Support/MacEnhance/Plugins, or double click to automatically open in MacForge

2. Move BetterLogin.app to /Applications (not required, app will work in any location)

Some versions of macOS and MacForge do not automatically inject newly installed bundles. To manually inject BetterLogin follow these steps in terminal. This may be required after every login

```

lldb -p $(pgrep -x loginwindow) 

expr (void) [[NSBundle bundleWithPath:@"/Library/Application Support/MacEnhance/Plugins/BetterLogin.bundle"] load]

expr (void) [BetterLogin load]

c

```

Close terminal window and lock screen

# Building from source
