FileVault and user passphrases
Raw
README.md

To setup a different passphrase for FileVault and for the user (so to use your Mac two different passphrases are required):

  • create a new "Disk Decrypt" user with the passphrase used for FileVault
  • disable FileVault auto-login with $ sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow DisableFDEAutoLogin -bool YES
  • remove the current user from the ones that could unlock FileVault with $ sudo fdesetup remove -user USER_NAME
  • make sure the "Disk Decrypt" can't administrate your Mac

That's all 🎉
