Lesson 7 - Manage Security and Privacy Flashcards
Which types of items can you store in a keychain?
You use Keychains to store secrets such as resource passwords, digital certificates, and encryption keys. The keychain system can also securely store Safari AutoFill information, Internet Account settings, and secure text notes.
How does the Keychain Access help protect your information?
Keychain manages encrypted files that are used to securely save your items. By default, users have login and Local Items keychains that use the same password as their account. Not even other administrative users can access your keychain secrets unless they know the keychain password.
Where are keychain files stored?
Each user starts with a login keychain saved at /Users/username/Library/Keychain/login.keychain and a Local Items/iCloud keychain saved in the /Users/username/ Library/Keychains/UUID folder. Administrative users can manage macOS authentication assets with the /Library/Keychain/System.keychain. Apple maintains several items in /System/Library/Keychains/ for macOS use.
What app should you use to manage keychain settings?
You can manage keychains from the /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access app.
When and why would you set up an iCloud Security Code?
You don’t need an iCloud Security Code if you set up two-factor authentication. For Apple IDs that do not have two-factor authentication enabled, you can set up an iCloud Security Code the first time you enable iCloud Keychain for a specific Apple ID. You can use the iCloud Security Code to set up other devices for the iCloud Keychain service and you can use it to regain access to the iCloud keychain if you lose all your Apple devices.
What’s required to set up iCloud Keychain on multiple Apple devices?
If you set up two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, your additional Apple devices are automatically configured to use iCloud Keychain. If you didn’t set up two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, you must authorize your additional Apple devices to use iCloud Keychain by:
• Using an Apple ID, password, and iCloud Security Code
• Using an Apple ID and password and authorizing access from another Apple device that is configured for iCloud Keychain
How can you limit the use of Location Services?
You can use the Privacy pane of Security & Privacy preferences to configure app access to Location Services, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, social network services, and Accessibility.
How can you ensure that audio recordings used for Dictation service remain private?
If you enable the Use Enhanced Dictation feature in the Dictation & Speech preferences, Audio recordings used for the Dictation service are not sent to Apple.
Which feature can you enable to locate a lost Mac?
iCloud Find My Mac enables you to remotely locate a lost Mac. You enable this feature in iCloud preferences. To locate a lost Mac, use the iCloud website or the Find My iPhone app on an iOS device.
