I was trying to say that the order changes. 1. hit power button 2. enter password 3. get coffee 4. start working. Before it was: 1. Hit power button 2. get coffee 3. enter password 4. start working | |
| Mar 7, 2017 at 20:44 | comment | added | sam | not sure im following then, your comment "Pre-boot authentication means you need to enter your password before you pick up your coffee in the morning while the Mac boots up." - Which part of the process is longer that requires you to wait while the mac boots up ? | |
| Mar 7, 2017 at 20:41 | comment | added | n1000 | @sam No. Boot duration should be very similar. But you have to enter your password before macOS starts loading. Without encryption its is: macOS boots and you enter your password to enter into the account (if automatic login is not enabled) | |
| Mar 7, 2017 at 20:38 | comment | added | sam | Thanks @n1000, re. "Pre-boot authentication " is that when the machine starts from off ? Do you mean that it will take a longer to start from off / restart then it currently does when un encrypted ? | |
