Hey list,
I’ve enabled File Vault2, a way to encrypt your disk with sensitive information
or other info. But the recovery key I couldn’t write down as there is no way of
interacting with VO to copy the text of the key. So now, I no longer have the
key anywhere, and VO has a beep prompt at login
Did you lose your password? You only need the key if you've lost your password
which you would have made up. And actually I did find some way to copy the
recovery key but maybe that was an older version of filevault and things have
changed.

I haven’t lost the password, yet, though i really wanted to write down the key
and couldn’t. So I’ll need to call AppleCare and ask them for the key and email
it to myself. How were you able to copy the key? When I am able to generate a
new key I’ll try your way of copying to see if it changed
In Mountain Lion I was able to copy the key using VO-Shift-C, to copy the last
spoken phrase. You should be able to use this—it's a great one to remember when
VO can't interact and select text to be copied.
Apple will not be able to email you the key as Apple does not keep any copy for
Strange. It has an option to store the key with apple so why wouldn’t they keep
it.
As far as the login, it only does it at first boot, if it awakes from sleep, it
uses regular voice over. Otherwise the beep method. It scared me at first, but
i got it right the first time.
VO+shift+c, good
Oh right, well if you chose that option then I guess you're fine. No need to
worry so long as you can remember the answers to your three questions. I doubt
you'll forget the password though as you have to enter it every time you turn
on your Mac.
