I didn't get a screenshot of this but I will if it appears again. Seizing my opportunity, I plugged in my Mojave boot disk and repeated the process for Mojave, installing it successfully.Ī few days later, after using Mojave without a problem, I saw a notification pop up on the right side of my screen saying something along the lines of 'Indeed Inc can automatically configure remote access' and asking me to give permission to do so.

At the other person's house, my computer was not connecting to Wifi (even though my keychain had previously contained that password as well.). I realized then that while doing this at my own house, my laptop was automatically connecting to WiFi (even after erasing the drive) and that this was causing the Indeed prompt to appear. I tried this setup again a day later at another person's house and to my surprise, I was able to finish the install properly without getting the Indeed prompt. I emailed Indeed with this photo and asked about it but got no reply. Going through the set up for Big Sur brought me to the exact same prompt upon setup. I then tried using internet recovery and was able to recover into Big Sur. I was blocked from proceeding further without these credentials. I clicked next was prompted for a Username and Password for Indeed. After a couple of steps of setup it said that Indeed Inc was going to configure remote access of the the laptop. Everything went normal and fine until rebooting and setting up the OS. I booted from it, used disk utility to wipe my drive, and then proceeded to install the OS from the disk. I got a copy of Mojave (I believe from the App Store) and made a bootable USB from it. I recently upgraded to Catalina, but wanted to downgrade to Mojave again. I've done clean OS installs on it several times in the past without having this issue and have never seen a popup of any kind about Indeed Inc.

I have no idea where the previous user of this laptop originally got it from. I have a MacBook Pro Retina (Early 2015) which I purchased used. Indeed Inc wants remote access to my Macbook and is prompting me upon OS install Hello all,
