What happens when you cannot log into your encrypted pc?
Do you lose all your files?
I had the same thought. Very important to have backups, and to remember your passwords. But if encrypted, can you recover to another pc? In the past, I've lost encrypted hard drives on trashed pc's that could not be read on another pc. With the new MacOS, I imagine there are better safeguards to make it easier to recover to another Mac... if you remember the passwords.
