Hi all
been meaning to ask but keep forgetting.
Few months ago I purchased an M2 MBP (Ventura) to replace my mid 2009er that ran a patched OS.
During set up of the M2 I turned on File Vault and I used the same user password as I do with unlocking the Mac. This got me wondering, with using exactly the same password, what the point of encrypting the disk actually was?
Are folks choosing a different password and must then enter both separately to gain access? I've read some documentation on this but the more I read, the further I get away from this likely basic question.
Cheers
