But that is a chicken-egg scenerio as you need a user who can login to FileVault to unlock the drive, before you can grant another secure token. Any user that logs in at an O/S login screen (not the Filevault screen) will be granted a secure token and the ability to unlock FileVault the next time the computer is reboot. If your computer is enrolled in Jamf, it will also have a Bootstrap token. (For example if you create and Administrator in a PreStage enrollment.). That is not always the first account created on the computer. The first account to LOG IN TO THE COMPUTER is automatically granted a secure token. ![]() I also discovered that I’d stored a FV-specific “recovery key” in my 1Password vault.How are the Secondary accounts being created? Accounts needed to be granted a secure token to be able to login in to a computer with FileVault. A bit of wandering about in the Privacy & Security pane of System Preferences brought reassurance, however, because, it states there that what’s needed IS one’s admin login PW. ![]() I had no recollection of having created a FV-specific PW, and asked him if it might be in my keychain access file, or whether my admin login PW might suffice he said no (to both). The first level support person didn’t directly know what to do about my encrypted SSD but came back to tell me that I could do the migration with FV enabled, but that afterwards I’d need to input my FV-specific PW in order to access my data on my new machine.It used to be that when I pressed “2” to get my music choice (while on hold), that choice would not be remembered for the duration of the call, so that as soon as the first level person realized he/she couldn’t answer my question directly, I’d be subjected to the sort of stuff that’s on Apple TV commercials and KUWTK (that’s the reality show about a family famous for being famous). Whether or not at my suggestion, they’ve fixed one generic problem at telephone support.Servers think I’ve changed desktop machines i.e., should I log out of Office 365 on the iMac before “surgery” and log back in again afterwards? I also have a 2017 21” iMac that I’ve stopped using temporarily because I’m going to replace its internal fusion drive with a PCIe 1 TB SSD and bump the RAM in that machine up to 32 GB at the same time.

I’m assuming I don’t need to turn off FV encryption to transport my data to the new machine, and that I can then encrypt the SSD on the new machine once I’ve created and populated my user account on the I think I can just use migration assistant between the two machines using that cable.
