Hotfix — v1.02

Fixes a bug introduced in v1.01 where the screensaver could become permanently undismissable after the Mac woke from sleep with the password lock enabled.

What was happening

If the Mac went to sleep while the password prompt was on screen, macOS cancelled the authentication internally but the completion never reached Cyph3rfall. The app remained stuck in an "authenticating" state — every attempt to dismiss the screensaver was silently blocked, requiring a hard restart to recover.

What was fixed

  • The app now listens for the system wake notification and immediately resets any stale authentication state
  • A fresh password prompt is automatically presented when the screen wakes with the lock active
  • A 90-second safety timeout has been added as a fallback for any other scenario where authentication might get interrupted

If you experienced the lockout bug, update immediately. If you do not use the "Require password to dismiss" option, this release does not affect you.
