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!
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 5 Aug 2012

@grynspan It’s a separate option.
Jonathan Grynspan ‏@grynspan 5 Aug 2012

@mjtsai I've determined there's a bug that leaves it stuck in the "on" position if you're not careful when enabling FileVault 2.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 5 Aug 2012

@grynspan Wow.
Jonathan Grynspan ‏@grynspan 5 Aug 2012

@mjtsai Sarcastic wow?
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 5 Aug 2012

@grynspan Surprised wow. If it just says “A recovery key has been set” hopefully that means I didn’t share it with Apple…
Jonathan Grynspan ‏@grynspan 5 Aug 2012

@mjtsai It says that in the FV2 prefs, of course. But during login there's still the option to reset your PW with an Apple ID. Which is bad.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 5 Aug 2012

@grynspan So the only way to check whether Apple has your recovery key is to fail a login and see whether it offers to reset for you?
Jonathan Grynspan ‏@grynspan 5 Aug 2012

@mjtsai I can confirm I was able to log into an account on an FV2-protected disk with a password I didn't know using the Apple ID password.

@grynspan So you’re saying Apple doesn’t have the FileVault key but someone at the computer can access the disk by changing login password?
