What a time to be using a Mac for work...

Obviously, because we're still stuck in the 90s where someone might be looking over your shoulders as you type...

ha ha - I checked, it does show - I updated my post

for those who might not appreciate a bitlocker key, this is the format

1234-5678-9012-3456-7890-1234-5678-9012

and iirc, it doesn't show while you're typing it in...

I remembered incorrectly

I was about to say at least it's only numbers..but then I remember the ****ery of not being able to see what you type.

FileVault keys are far worse.

Back home now, on my MacBook Air which is always such a pleasure to use

Only time you need that is if you had a hardware change.

When last did you have to access Windows safe mode on a laptop with bitlocker enabled?

Why an air tho?

Just the best value for money option.

Most of us who have supported various linux distros have had to deal with kernel panic among others. I’ve dealt with more of those than windoze blue screens.

Yes but this is a MacOS conversation not a Linux one.

MacOS is after all the best *nix Desktop.

And how do you feel about it? Does it keep you up at night. You do realise it has always been said in post #33 . What is it you want?

I have been very lucky. Both (rather huge) organizations I work for almost completely unaffected (Government / University)

My company is about 18,000 people worldwide and yesterday was a normal working day. I had a few Teams meetings and downloaded a couple of spreadsheets from the cloud. Just my luck, could’ve done with the day off.

I just said it explains your post. One can boot easily into safe mode if one suspends bitlocker first (but that would be with normal Windows working first, unlike this situation).

Anyway, these security software can even break things on Macs.
