Frustrating though.įor me personally it’s because it ensures the computer and information on it are in an encrypted container.

Also- these things are notoriously finicky anyway so it could just be that. I’ll get back to you but it could well be a setting somewhere that’s different yeah. I’m going to have a little look later when I’m at my computer. Either via the gui using the main disk as a start up or a usb disk, via the terminal from recovery mode or via electronic means such as removing the drive. My goal is to avoid any possible way of entering the system other than with my password. I wonder if the t2 involvement coupled with the secured firmware actually make FileVault redundant? From a second computer log in to your router and with the WOL (Wake on LAN) option wake up your Mac wirelessly by entering the MAC address. Then check the MAC address of your wireless card of your Mac. Secure and built on open standards: Jump Desktop is a RDP and VNC client. After your enabled WME on your router, you must enable 'Wake for network access' on your Mac. I also have the machine locked down to the max security settings, no external booting. Jump Desktop is very easy to setup anyone can do it Just visit: on your PC or Mac, click the ‘Automatic Setup’ link and follow step-by-step instructions. I have a firmware password - which I have disabled the ability for Apple (and by extension I assume anyone else) to reset it, via terminal as per the instructions on apples website. I have FileVault on, and it’s secured with my own personal key, ie- not tied to iCloud. I would actually like more information regarding this because the t2 has confused things. I was actually looking into all the options as I wanted to disable it to aid with what the op and I are talking about- remoting in. I admit that that’s an old school way of looking at it, and my thinking regarding FileVault pertains to the days before t2.
