Description
Hi,
Since 10.13, ‘defaults read com.apple.screensaver’ returns only 1 entry: ‘tokenRemovalAction’.
‘askForPassword' and ‘askForPasswordDelay’ vanished ...
I don’t know where these values are stored since 10.13, nor how to read them.
If you know, I’d be grateful !
Cheers

Research direction
Start with the macOS `defaults read com.apple.screensaver` entry point described in the issue and investigate where `askForPassword` and `askForPasswordDelay` are stored since macOS 10.13. Done means documenting a reliable way to read the current values, or confirming that no supported read path is available.
