Re: File Vault Encryption ICloud Disk Locking?
You don’t have to use either one. They are just options. FileVault encrypts the disk for security and the option for iCloud enables iCloud users to be able to use their Apple ID passwords to log into their Mac if they forget their account passwords. However, both features are optional. Take Care John D.

File Vault Encryption ICloud Disk Locking?
In the set-up process of os on my Mac Book Pro, i am being asked if I want to allow File Vault to encrypt my disk, and second if I want to allow ICloud to Unlock my disk and reset my password. The default is that they are both checked. I am not an ICloud user at this point and don’t have confidence in using the cloud for my personal/private information.

Re: File Vault Encryption ICloud Disk Locking?
Hi again Ilene, I'd recommend that you don't use these features until you are more familiar with OS X. They would only confuse you and in the case of Filevault, could cause you to lose data.
