Set a firmware password on your Mac
When you set a firmware password, users who don't have the password can't start up from any disk other than the designated startup disk.
This feature requires a Mac with an Intel processor. For the equivalent level of security on a Mac with Apple silicon, simply turn on FileVault.
How to turn on a firmware password
Your Mac asks for the firmware password only when attempting to start up from a storage device other than the one selected in Startup Disk preferences, or when starting up from macOS Recovery. Enter the firmware password when you see the lock and password field:

If you forgot your firmware password
If you can't remember your firmware password, schedule an in-person service appointment with an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. Bring your Mac to the appointment, and bring your original receipt or invoice as proof of purchase.

P.
Mad amounts of info thank you. Although the problem was solved like most Apple software problems, just turn it off and turn it back on. Again though, very helpful. The firmware password maybe something I need to look into.
I have not seen that discussed here before
