Detect is password is set on macOS via Terminal
Im building an app(vulnerability scanning app) where basically i need to check if a user has a password set or not. From researching, it does not look like this is possible to detect. I was wondering anyone knows of a way, perhaps through an OS API that this can be detected/queried?
Any help/guidance is greatly appreciated!
