I want to use FileVault 2, but I don't want to allow someone to reset my password with my Apple ID. I want that separate. Help!

@grynspan Is there anywhere in the UI that shows, after setup, whether your login password can be changed via Apple ID?

@mjtsai Physical access screws with a lot of security, but this defeats the purpose of FV2: prevent data access if physical access occurs.

@grynspan This sounds like the worst Mac security bug I’ve ever heard of. You’re basically basically that Apple has a backdoor to FileVault. - View other replies

@mjtsai It's worth noting that the machine must have already been booted past the grey FV2 login screen. But once it's running, hole ahoy! -
@grynspan OK, so the workaround is to shutdown when you’re not physically at the computer. -
@mjtsai Pretty much. Every time you take a poop or grab a coffee, reboot that fucker.
