The MacOs allows users to add a custom message to the lock screen. There are a variety of reasons that would require a lock screen message. For instance, large organizations may add a lock screen message to all their Mac computers to share policy or configuration information.

Alternatively, for a personal Mac user, a lock screen message may come in handy when distinguishing your Mac from identical Mac.
