Mac EFI Passwords

EFI passwords are enabled on campus-owned Macs.
This prevents the computer from being started from an external drive, or being started into modes that might allow access to sensitive data.
This is part of our effort to secure campus-owned devices.  If you have a need to boot your Mac from an external drive, please contact the Technology Help Desk.
