There is anecdotal evidence that this app will refuse to run on Fusion drives because it falsely detects the "drive" is already encrypted.

Hi -- just a quick question about whether folks are still successfully using this method... last edit/change was several years ago and we're looking at testing it for 10.12 / 10.13...

Hi!
When using Filevault Setup with Sierra 10.12.1. Create an admin account, login and install Filevault setup, enable and force user to use Filevault. Create a new user and reboot and login as new user, Filevaultsetup starts by Loginhook, the Keychain gets locked (readonly).

I have an employee who uses the OS X spanish keyboard layout. His password has the @ symbol in it, but nothing specific to spanish. When he is at the login window, he has to type in his password using the US layout, as the alternate layout is not available. When FileVault Setup opens during the login process, it will not accept his password - we've tried setting his environment back to US keyboard, tried different keyboards. The keyboards themselves are standard Apple US english, the spanish layout is being processed by the OS.

any ideas?

Is this possible?

Great tool, thank you so much for it.

Just a suggestion to link to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5077 from the ReadMe.

(I understand that if people don't already know about it, they maybe shouldn't be using this tool ... but still might be nice 😁)
