[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1861891, member: 396914"] Yep, if a bad guy has your Mac, there are ways past the login. Maybe that's another reason to turn on File Vault. One more layer of Swiss cheese to get lined up to get past the security. iDevices, not so easy as there is no Single User mode and no command line interface. Also, you can set an alphanumeric passcode on iOS in addition to the two offers of 4 and 6 digit numbers, so if you are concerned, make that password really secure (just don't forget it). There is no perfect security. The idea is to make it hard enough that it gives you time to react to the theft of your device and change what was stored on the device before the thief can get to it.
