  1. I’m slightly late to the party but this is an incredibly useful feature in MacOS 26 ... Apple has enabled the ability to remotely enter the FileVault unlock password via SSH when a headless Mac with FileVault turned on is rebooted.

    No more “whoops the Mac got rebooted where's the crash cart" or “how do I access the KVM again” issues!

    Open a terminal and type "man apple_ssh_and_filevault" for details, or see the note near the bottom of this page support.apple.com/en-us/124963

  2. I am reading about the Microsoft and Bitlocker key situation this week...

    I am wondering if anyone knows whether Mac owners might have the same problem as Windows PC owners (re: FileVault)?

  3. TIL #macOS doesn't support autologin if #FileVault is enabled. So if you have a #Mac server running an application that you want to start automatically after a blackout, for example, you have to run the OS unencrypted. Yikes

  4. Achtung! Der frühe #Vogel fängt den #Bug ;)

    #Apple #MacOS 26 #Tahoe aktiviert ungefragt #Filevault (Festplattenverschlüsselung).
    Bei unserem #Remote #Mac #Server ist damit nach einem Neustart kein Zugriff mehr möglich per #Bildschirmfreigabe.

    Jetzt gehe ich mal los und organisiere irgendwo einen Monitor und Maus und Tastatur... nur um mich anzumelden und Filevault wieder zu deaktivieren... ;)

  6. FileVault: как Apple превратила шифрование диска в незаметную магию

    Что общего между ноутбуком, украденным из кафе, и многомиллионными потерями компаний? Незащищенные данные. Разбираемся, как Apple решила эту проблему раз и навсегда. В 2003 году первая технология шифрования FileVault в Mac OS X Panther тормозила систему, защищала только домашнюю папку и работала через костыли. В 2025 году шифрование работает на аппаратном уровне настолько незаметно, что забываешь о его существовании. Как Apple удалось превратить FileVault из «той штуки, которую лучше не включать» в незаменимую технологию безопасности современных Mac? Давайте разберём эту эволюцию.

  7. My daughter has a friend whose sibling is no longer alive, as of recently. The family wants to access their MacBook Pro which is password protected. It's a fairly recent model, apparently, and it's unclear whether the disk is encrypted -- prob safe to assume it is (?).

    Is there something Apple can/will do to help the family gain access, given proof of the situation?

  8. "Linux has been supporting Full Disk Encryption (FDE) and technologies such as UEFI SecureBoot and TPMs for a long time. However, the way they are set up by most distributions is not as secure as they should be, and in some ways quite frankly weird. In fact, right now, your data is probably more secure if stored on current ChromeOS, Android, Windows or MacOS devices, than it is on typical Linux distributions."

  9. @devontechnologies Is there any point in encrypting a #DEVONthink database stored on a single-user #FileVault-enabled #Mac and synced via (end-to-end encrypted) #iCloud?

  10. Gah! Just discovered that remote desktop with #VNC to a #Mac is not possible if the user is logged out (e.g. after booting up) while #Filevault is enabled. VERY inconvenient.

    Have you run into this, @mjtsai, and did you have another solution than disabling Filevault? Apple Remote Desktop probably works, but that's too much for my modest needs. (I also see only now that the 10 Gb ethernet variant of the M1 Mini is different! It has Lights Out Management.)

  11. FileVault encrypts the data on your Mac's startup disk to help prevent unauthorized access. Here's what you need to know about it. tchlp.com/3Erc2MG #filevault #macos #encryption

  12. USB-minnen är problematiska för informationssäkerheten. Det blev Region Skåne varse om när ett USB-minne försvann, vilket kostade dem 200000 kr. Här är lärdomarna som vi kan dra.
