1. plist file (Mac only)
1. registry.json file

## Remove sign-in enforcement

To remove enforcement, undo the configuration for the method you used:

- **Windows registry key**: Delete the `allowedOrgs` value, or remove the entire `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Docker\Docker Desktop` key.
- **Mac configuration profiles**: Remove the profile through your MDM solution, or from **System Settings** > **General** > **Device Management**.
- **Mac plist file**: Delete `/Library/Application Support/com.docker.docker/desktop.plist`.
- **registry.json**: Delete the `registry.json` file at:
- Windows: `/ProgramData/DockerDesktop/registry.json`
- Mac: `/Library/Application Support/com.docker.docker/registry.json`
- Linux: `/usr/share/docker-desktop/registry/registry.json`

Restart Docker Desktop after removing the configuration so the change takes effect.
