I have an old laptop with a damaged screen. I keep the lid closed and it's
used as media server on the home network. The machine itself doesn't seem to
sleep because I can always access the movies etc. on it through home sharing.

I use screen sharing to access things from time to time. However, when I
connect through screen sharing it always shows me a log in page and I have to
type in the account password. Anyone have any idea how to stop that?

Hmm could be the screensaver.
Make sure it is switched off.

Yes, I did that. Wasn't the issue.

If you have "wake for network access" enabled then it will wake up when
accessed, even on WiFi. So it might be sleeping (just not deeply).

I seem to recall Apple making a change a few versions back to require a
password for all remote access, so it might not be possible.

A work-around might be to set a really short password like 'aaaa' which
is easy to type. (You'll probably need to use the 'passwd' command from
the command line to force it to accept an easily guessed one.)

I hthough this was probably the bugger, but if P close the connection and then
re-open it a few mins later, I don't have to use a password, the screen is
still live,

The password is already minimal, just a pain to have to use it. Ah well.
