i just want to secure my mac. since there's a lot of thief right now. i read that the master password and the firmware password is not the same..
• Open Firmware password — The computer itself can be protected by a single password that prevents unauthorized users from altering the startup process. • Master password — An administrator must create a single master password before users can protect their home folders with FileVault. The master password acts as a back door for resetting passwords on FileVault-protected accounts. > On 09 Jul 2015, at 12:21 am, Christopher-Mark Gilland <clgillan...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Ehh, is that a smart idea?
