Brand new MacBook Air owner, formerly used Windows on PC.

I set up my MacBook Air using its tutorial. Today is my 2nd day & it asked for my password to log in. I typed my password & tapped the trackpad. Nothing happened.

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 14.6

Welcome to Apple and your new Mac.

By default, you would need to press on the touchpad/trackpad to perform as a single "click." If you prefer to just tap, you can change this setting in System Settings. Think of System Settings as the equivalent of the Windows Control Panel.

Something else to help you transition from Windows to macOS is this article:
