New Mac Firevault?

[TellyTel]

Hi

Setting up new Mac, should I use fire vault encryption, it’s only a home computer nothing on it a thieve will want.

Should I keep it off?

Why would you not enable it?

No idea, I never had it enabled on my iMac, it’s ticked as default here, so will keep it on then.

There's negligible impact to performance, and you have higher security. Enable it.

Good practice to keep it on.

To save starting a new thread, does anyone know how I install an app to just one user account?

For example I use 1password but other users on the mac do not, so I dont wish to install it on there accounts. Having trouble figuring it out.

Instead of /Applications, install the app in /Users/your_account_name/Applications (you may need to make that folder yourself).

Did do that, but 1password don’t like that and would not open. So had to place it back in primary application folder. Not to worry not an issue really having it installed for all.

Apart from that I’m more or less set up now.

Minor thing, but does anyone know how to stop the user Memoji from moving and showing expressions. On the login screen one of the Memojis moves all the time while the other users are static.
