Does this bypass filesystem encryption?
- satysin 9y agoIf it does then it means Apple's encryption implementation is fucked.
- tempay 9y agoOnly if the laptop is locked (as the encryption key is already in memory).
- kylehotchkiss 9y agoAny chance that self clears after an interval? Might be a bad day to leave the laptop at the table at the coffeeshop when ordering.
- tempay 9y agoBy default no as most people expect things to keep running when they lock their laptop. There is a setting to immediately destroy the key when the laptop sleeps. It might be outdated but [1] should give you a starting point for setting it up.

- ams6110 9y agoIt might, if you added "root" as a user able to unlock the disk. But you'd probably have needed to set a password for the root account to do that.
