Hello there I was told that FileVault is for people that need super security. If that's what you need, then great. However, it got me into trouble because that's not what I need.this happened when I let my power go down to four, and FileVault wanted my password and I didn't know what was going on. I thought I was never going to get back into my computer. I was told that under certain conditions it can make your files in accessible with if you have FileVault.
