Hi,
Normally I let my systems start up automatically with noi password at
all but now with my new mac I have indeed setup a startup password AND
encryption. After a few minutes of non-use I have to enter that password
again. I feel very secure now even takingmy laptop along to other
locations and leaving it alone for a while.
What I like about the boot up process AFTER your drive is encrypted is,
that if you enter cmd+f5 you will hear a beep when your computer is
ready for input, you then hear a beep if its right and another beep if
it is wrong, also this goes for the password. Just experiment with it
for yourself its very niftily done.
I havent heard of anything like this being possible on a windows system
and while I did not use it before i got my mba, i like it a lot and it
makes me feel a lot more secure.
Greetings, Anouk,

Hi all,
Just passing on my experience with Lion's file vault. I thought it'd be
difficult but it's not. Carefully read the dialogs and you're all set. No
complicated setup. Encryption takes a while. Only thing you are going to
sacrifice is a voice over supported log in. With encryption enabled, you will
still get audible feedback though, and it is workable. I thought I'd give it a
shot so I backed up securely and turned it on, but I don't think I'll revert
back to normal. I don't notice any speed degradation, though it may be present.
It just doesn't get in the way. Of course, if your full disk is encrypted, only
avery small part of the os can be left unencrypted, so that's why you don't
have voiceover at the login prompt. The prompt now comes very quickly, and the
rest of the os is loaded after you enter valid credentials.
