Dec 18, 2014 2:09 AM in response to Linc Davisby philoup,If I start my MacBook I have to enter a password to decrypt FileVault and then I have to enter a second one to log into my user account. I want to a login automatically to my account so I have to enter a password only once for FileVault. While I am the only person using this machine it will be ok if I enable automatic login for my user account.
