Secure boot

I'm trying to verify I have secure boot enabled which might be preventing me from using the Wallet feature on MacBook air. When I open disk utilities I am not offered the option of going to startup security settings.

Enabling SecureBoot on Macbook Air OS X Maverick Good day, could you tell me if it is possible to enable SecureBoot on the MacBook AiR or somehow get into the Startup Security Utility. When I go into recovery mode via cmd+R, I can only set a password for the firmware in the utilities, and I can’t find the Startup Security Utility, if it exists at all. Could you tell me if there is such a possibility? Thank you in advance!

Can't Enter Password on Startup Security Recently bought a new 2020 MacBook Pro with M1 Chip and running Big Sur. I'm trying to set up Apple Pay and am unable because of possible changed security settings. I am following instructions off this site: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT208198 but when I open Startup Security and try click "Enter macOS Password", I am not given a window or prompt to actually enter my password (see screenshot of where I get stuck). Anyone have a way around this problem? If it makes any difference, I migrated everything from my old MacBook Air initially to the new one, but then decided I wanted a fresh start and did a factory reset and erased the hard drive, then proceeded to upgrade to Big Sur. Thanks for any help.

Restore full security to my MacBook Pro I was trying to start from an external disk. I was having trouble, so I used the Startup Security Utility and chose no security. Now, I can't change it to Full Security-- message says I have to download something?

Good article thanks. Though I still don't know why I can't get into the secure startup utility https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208330 I'm trying to turn on Wallet and the error message points to that page.
