Lesson 8 - Manage Password Changes Flashcards
What does the master password do?
Use the master password to reset local account passwords.
When users change their own account passwords, how are their login keychains affected?
When users change their own account passwords, the system keeps their login keychain passwords in sync.
What options are available when you try to change the password for a user account with an Apple ID password?
When you change the password for a user account with an Apple ID password, you can change to a separate, locally saved password or to the Apple ID password.
How can you reset a user’s lost account password?
You can reset local account passwords in Users & Groups, by the master password at login, by a FileVault recovery key at startup, and by the Reset Password assistant in macOS Recovery. Users with local accounts with an Apple ID and password can manage their Apple IDs and passwords at https://appleid.apple.com or https:// iforgot.apple.com.
How does resetting a user’s account password affect that user’s login keychain?
The account password reset process won’t change any keychain passwords. Therefore, the user’s keychains don’t automatically open when the user logs in with a new password. The user will have to manually change the keychain passwords using the Keychain Access utility.
How does Firmware Password Utility help prevent users from making unauthorized password changes?
The Firmware Password Utility prevents users from starting up from another system disk. This prevents them from using macOS Recovery to reset local passwords without authorization.
