I hope I don’t need to enter passwords every time an update comes down the pike. I must have had to enter an apple id and password about 10 times – even had to do it to install some software updates to Pages, Keynote, etc. So far I think it’s a very nice machine, although In my opinion, the initial setup was EXTREMELY annoying. It was originally released in 2017 (June, I think) but had Mojave 10.14.5 installed on it. I just got a refurbished MacBook Air today.
