Mac Tip – How to Encrypt Your Mac

How to Turn On and Set Up FileVault Encryption

If you get a new Mac for Christmas and plan to make shady deals in the Ukraine and China you definitely need to do this. But everyone else should do it too.

FileVault is part of the macOS operating system and it encrypts your Mac system disk so that it can’t be accessed without the proper credentials. If I have physical possession of a Mac I can quickly break into it. If your disk is encrypted with FileVault I am stopped cold. It is that simple.

YOU SIMPLY CAN’T FORGET YOUR PASSWORDS!

FileVault 2 is available in OS X Lion or later. When FileVault is turned on, your Mac always requires that you log in with your account password.

Choose Apple menu () > System Preferences, then click Security & Privacy.
Click the FileVault tab.
Click , then enter an administrator name and password.
Click Turn On FileVault.

What I Am Working on Today

Not a lot going on today. Being shut-in because of snow is a refreshing change from being shut-in for the virus. I planned this week around the iPhone 12 release and it is now about two days late getting here due to the weather. UPS says it is in the neighborhood so it is going to be a long night.
