When enabled, your startup volume is locked when the Mac is sleeping or shut down, and the data is encoded so it can\u2019t be read unless the login password is used.&nbsp;<\/p> <p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/how-to-enable-full-disk-encryption-macos\">enabling FileVault<\/a>, macOS asks you a critical question on how you would like to unlock your disk. There are two options (Figure 1):<\/p> <ol><li>Allow your iCloud account to unlock your disk<\/li><li>Create a recovery key<\/li><\/ol> <p>If you choose the first option while enabling FileVault, you only need to access your iCloud account to unlock your Mac and the OS will not create a separate recovery key. If you choose the second option, macOS generates a recovery key that you are expected to store in a safe place.&nbsp;<\/p> <p>However, what happens if you lose the key? We\u2019ll cover your options for potentially recovering a FileVault key in this tutorial.<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"210\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-1.png\" alt=\"screenshot of security and privacy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-1.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-1-300x123.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" class=\"wp-image-72142\"><figcaption>Figure 1<\/figcaption><\/figure> <blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong><em>Note: If you lose both your Mac password and FileVault recovery key, you will not be able to log in to your device or access the data on your startup disk.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote> <h2 id=\"heading1\">Not Sure if the Recovery Key Is Correct?<\/h2> <p>Maybe you have a recovery key, but are unsure if it\u2019s the right one for this computer. Fortunately, if you are already\/still logged in to your Mac, there is a way forward. You can validate the recovery key by taking these steps:<\/p> <ul><li>Launch the Terminal.app on your Mac: search for \u201cterminal\u201d using the Spotlight search option on your device or navigate through <strong>Applications &gt; Utilities &gt; Terminal<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Run the command <code>sudo fdesetup validaterecovery<\/code> and click return. Enter your admin password when requested.<\/li><li>You will be prompted to enter the current recovery key. Do exactly that and ensure you do not leave out the hyphens in the key. Because your entry is hidden and you cannot use the backspace if you type a mistake, we offer this pro tip: copy and paste into Terminal. Just be sure you don\u2019t copy any leading or trailing spaces.<\/li><\/ul> <p>There are three possible outcomes:&nbsp;<\/p> <ol><li><code>true<\/code> (Figure 2a) if your key is correct<\/li><li><code>false<\/code> (Figure 2b) if the key you entered follows the format of a recovery key but is incorrect for this computer<\/li><li><code>Error: Not a valid recovery key<\/code> (Figure 2c) if the key does not look like a recovery key at all (e.g., if you leave out the hyphens)<\/li><\/ol> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"146\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-2a.png\" alt=\"screenshot of a possible outcome\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-2a.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-2a-300x86.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" class=\"wp-image-72143\"><figcaption>Figure 2a<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"145\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-2b.png\" alt=\"screenshot of a possible outcome\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-2b.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-2b-300x85.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" class=\"wp-image-72144\"><figcaption>Figure 2b<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"131\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-2c.png\" alt=\"screenshot of a possible outcome\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-2c.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-2c-300x77.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" class=\"wp-image-72145\"><figcaption>Figure 2c<\/figcaption><\/figure> <h2 id=\"heading2\">Recovery Key Incorrect or Lost?<\/h2> <p>Unless your system is <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/blog\/mac-encryption-key-recovery\">managed by a device management platform<\/a>, if your FileVault recovery key is completely lost or the validation keeps returning false, unfortunately you cannot recover it. It is gone.&nbsp;<\/p> <p>The only thing you can do while you still have access to your computer is to create a new key. You can do this in two ways:&nbsp;<\/p> <ol><li>Via Terminal.app<\/li><li>Via the FileVault tab under Security &amp; Privacy<\/li><\/ol> <p>Whichever method you choose, note that you will not get the same recovery key that was lost. Instead, a new key will be generated.<\/p> <h3>1. Create a New Key Via Terminal<\/h3> <p>Launch the Terminal.app and run the following command:&nbsp;<\/p> <p><code>sudo fdesetup changerecovery -personal<\/code>&nbsp;<\/p> <p>This method will allow you to generate a new key without having to turn off FileVault and re-enable it. Enter your user name and password when prompted to do so. If the change is successful, you will see a new recovery key (Figure 3).&nbsp;<\/p> <p>Otherwise, you may get an error that you cannot change your key. We recommend trying the second method discussed below if this method doesn\u2019t work for you.<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"192\" src=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-3.png\" alt=\"screenshot of a possible outcome\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-3.png 512w, https:\/\/jumpcloud.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Figure-3-300x113.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" class=\"wp-image-72147\"><figcaption>Figure 3<\/figcaption><\/figure> <h3>2.
