Yeah, not so much worried, more curious about the options. I had read about creating a separate account for only checking emails and surfing, so if someone got the laptop, they'd be less likely to get sensitive data.
A more complicated idea was creating separate keychains. One for everyday tasks, and one for financial passwords and such. I've created an admin password now, and require it when the mac turns on & wakes up. Thanks, Traci 1 step, 2 step, ... 1,311 steps! I can do the BIG CLIMB 2013, with your support.
