How does that vary to filevault?

Aug 27, 2013 10:19 PM in response to BenBarclayby Kappy,FileVault still protects the Home folder as it has but now you can encrypt the entire drive. If you have a FileVault protected Home folder you should decrypt it before you upgrade to Mountain Lion. Be sure to read up carefully about the new FileVault and security passwords. Losing a password will leave your files inaccessible.
