FileVault is on

How to enable FileVault

  • Open System Preferences, click Privacy & Security.
  • Click Turn On FileVault.
  • You have two options to save the recovery key: iCloud or create it and save it.
    1. If you're a regular user, we recommend using iCloud (if you have it).
    2. If you create the recovery key, make sure to save it away from the computer, in a safe place and do not lose it. If you forget your administrator password, there is no way to get to your files.
