[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1743409, member: 175845"] Well, dumber than dumb here, I finally found out why the password wasn't needed on an encrypted folder created with Disk Utility as this article expains: "[I][B]Uncheck the box next to "Remember password in my keychain.[/B]" (Leaving it checked will allow you to open the folder without entering the password, since it's stored in your keychain.)[/I]" That makes a difference and it works quite well. Maybe have a look and this seems to works for most OS X versions: [url]http://mac-how-to.wonderhowto.com/how-to/ultimate-guide-password-protecting-files-folders-mac-os-x-yosemite-0160423/[/url] - Patrick ========== [/QUOTE]
