The short version is that it's a bad idea to be running as an admin as it is less secure. Better to have a separate admin account with a unique and hard-to-guess name (not 'admin'!) and a good secure password.

Morning all,

I’ve just taken delivery of a refurb MacBook Pro and I’m about to set it up. I’ve never really known if it makes sense or not to make the primary user (i.e me), also the admin account. What’s the group wisdom on this?

Ta
Phil
