However, that will mean compromising your data by relying on Apple to make sure no one else is able to gain access to it. The only alternative would be to use the iCloud option to decrypt it. Even if you bring your Mac to an Apple service center directly, they won’t be able to help you. What is worth noting is that when you set up your Recovery Key, there will be no way to restore your data if you misplace the key. This makes it a highly desirable feature for users that hold sensitive information on their hard drives. Apart from using the correct FileVault recovery key you initially set up, the data on your disk will be rendered unrecognizable. Apple has invested plenty of time and resources into equipping their Mac users with AES-128 encryption, which includes a 256-bit key to provide full-disk encryption.
FileVault disk encryption is one of the most effective methods of protecting your MacOS from thieves, unauthorized access and ultimately, identity theft.
