MDM Macbook Pro - Security

Hi guys, thank you for spending your treasure time to read & response my question. I'm considering about security of my macbook pro 13" model 2018. I bought it from a stranger last year and i just know that it's a MDM macbook pro. There is few information about MDM macbook pro in my country, so i want to ask a question about this mac: whether former company or former owner are able to read all my password which i used to login on safari or chrome browser / notes software or not? It will be a terrible if they can.

I want to ask directly to Apple but they can't response right now might be because of Covid-19 pandemic.

Thank you

Sorry, but could you tell us what an MDM Macbook Pro is supposed to be? I have never heard of that designation unless you are referring to "mobile device management". This would be software that was installed by a company or person. I have no experience with such software, but you do not want that on your computer. I would suggest that you boot into recovery, erase your entire drive, and then reinstall the OS. And, I do not know if that would completely remove it, but it is a start.

I cannot answer that question, but I would not trust it. I would try to return the computer for a refund.

Well, it's exactly "mobile device management". My friend already recovery system, there is nothing unusual while using, sometime it appear this notification, i search on internet that is usual for MDM macbooks, and we unable to remove it completely from system because of T2 chip. It's only possible for macbooks which manufactured before 2017. I do not feel uncomfortable with these notification but only care about if a former company or personal can read all my data, password in whole period time i used.
