Legal Firmware Password Characters
What characters are legal to use in the firmware password for a mac.
I read alphanumeric are accepted and that others characters may cause a problem but this seems silly.
What about characters are allowed such as & or $ or %, etc.
Can't seem to find anything authoritative on this, but I always prefer to use random passwords with a variety of character types.
Thanks in advance
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
I'm not following you. Firmware is software for devices connected to a computer and I've not seen one with a password. What are you protecting with this password?
Doesn't seem to be any specification in Use a firmware password on your Mac - Apple Support
I believe that was the page where I read the words alphanumeric. However that was quite some time ago and it's one of those things that's been bugging me. Alphanumeric does not include those special characters so I was wondering if anyone has had any issues using using those special characters?
seems that the word alphanumeric is not there anymore. May have been another site but I though it was a posting by Apple. Might have been on the Mac firmware utility itself.
