| Apr 19, 2014 at 9:39 | comment | added | Charles François Rey | It's not just the user's home folder that is encrypted, but the whole disk. So most of the doc out there is not quite relevant. Anyway, I printed the recovery key when I activated the thing, so I should be able to use it somewhere, even in a "cold boot" state, shouldn't I ? | |

| Apr 19, 2014 at 9:19 | comment | added | Charles François Rey | The problem is, it's not the login screen like this one (images.macworld.com/images/article/2011/10/…). It just says "Disk Password" with a password input field, and no way to enter a recovery key. | |
