How will FileVault effect my user experience?
My new work requires that we turn on FileVault to be able to use their proprietary website and to protect emails we send for work.
I use my computer for a lot more than work related activities, so I'm wondering, since FileVault will encrypt my entire drive, how will turning on FV change my user experience.
1. For example, I use Splashtop to login to my Mac Pro remotely. You can set Splashtop's security to request the person logging in to either enter the Mac's password as you do when you boot up. Plus you can set another password through Splashtop so that would be a 2nd login request.
I'm wondering how FV will work when logging in remotely.
2. Or when updating or installing certain software, sometimes I'm requested to input my Mac password. With FV on, in these software installations, will I have to input my Mac password and also my FV password too?
3. Lastly, since everything is encrypted, does having FV activated slow saving or saving in the background down?
Thanks.
