Adding Text or Message To Your Login Screen

Here’s a tip on how you can add text or message to the login screen of your mac. One reason of using this is for confidentiality disclaimer or some other kind of important information needs to be address each time a user logs on or even a reminder.

All you have to do is navigate to your hard drive then: Library> Preferences. Here you’ll find a file called com.apple .loginwindow.plist - you can edit this by opening it up in TextEdit.

The file will contain quite a bit of programmer tags in it. Just below the first one, insert the following:

<key>LoginwindowText</key>
<string>YOUR TEXT GOES HERE</string>

Obviously you’ll want to replace “YOUR TEXT GOES HERE” with whatever message you would like to add to your login screen.

Save the document.
