File volt works differently even with VO. But it works fine once you get your head around it. I have file volt enable on this mac book air so I know how I get through it From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Harry Bell Sent: Saturday, 10 June 2017 7:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: VO bug logging in with Filevolt enabled
I have VO set in System Preferences to come on as soon as my macs start up. I have Filevault and in the first screen VO announces that I need to put in my name in the first field and I then hit TAB and VO then asks for my password. I then hit ENTER and I'm in!

Be sure you press command-F5 to turn on VoiceOver. It will ask for your account name, which is whatever the name is for your home folder is called. Then, press enter and it will prompt you for your password. Type that and hit enter. Take Care John D.

I can’t remember how I set up my iMac back in the day, but I do know that I don’t have File volt encryption enabled on it. This time around I decided to switch on Filevolt on my new MacBook Pro, but I came across a Voiceover bug in doing so. When I restarted the machine where it asks for your password to log in, voiceover gets stuck and no matter what you press or try, all it keeps saying over and over is “username”. So basically I found it impossible to log in to my Mac using voiceover, I had to get sighted assistance to get passed the log in screen, luckily someone was on hand. I first thought I could simply enable automatic log in so that it doesn’t ask for my password when starting up the machine, but turns out with File Volt encryption enabled, you can’t enable automatic log in. For now I disabled File Volt to work around this issue, but I’d like to enable it again if possible. Have anyone else came across this bug and are there any work arounds, something I missed?
