[BUG] <redacted> displayed as WiFi SSID on macOS Sequoia #1874
Description
Read the FAQ first
- I have checked the FAQ but the issue is not covered
Description
In the latest macOS version (Sequoia 15.6), Fastfetch displays the SSID in the WiFi module as <redacted>.
I read on the release notes that this will be the default behaviour for macOS Tahoe and later, but I am currently using macOS Sequoia 15.6
Due to more restrictive permissions in macOS Tahoe, SSID detection on macOS 26+ requires root privileges.
<redacted>will be displayed otherwise.
