| Question | Answer |
| What does the master password do? | The master password is used to reset local account passwords. |
| How do users who change their own account passwords on the local Mac computer affect their login keychains? | When users change their own account passwords, the system keeps their login keychain passwords in sync. |
| For a user account with an Apple ID password, what options are available when you try to change the password? | When you change the password for a user account with an Apple ID password, you are given the option either to change to a separate, locally saved password or to change the Apple ID password. |
| What methods can be used to reset a lost user account password? | Local account passwords can be reset by an administrator in Users & Groups preferences, by the master password at login, by a FileVault recovery key at startup, and by the Reset Password assistant in macOS Recovery. Local accounts with Apple ID passwords can also be reset online via https://iforgot.apple.com. |
| How does resetting a user’s account password affect that user’s login keychain? | The account password reset process will not change any keychain passwords. Therefore, the user’s keychains do not automatically open when the user logs in with the new password. The user will need to manually change his or her keychain passwords using the Keychain Access utility. |
| How does the 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 in turn prevents them from using a macOS Recovery system to reset local passwords without authorization. |
