My primary ‘production’ machine is a desktop PC, so it MUST be unplugged to be stolen, therefore without my PIN or fingerprint, access is VERY unlikely. I suppose the thief could hack my PIN, but (s)he would have to know its length (and whether it contains alpha characters) to get anywhere. I have a PIN and I use a fingerprint scanner to log in. I use Bitlocker to encrypt all my drives so a thief won’t be able to see what’s on them without a LOT of computing power.
My UEFI (the new BIOS) is password protected. I take security very seriously, so my box is already locked down enough that if it’s stolen, the thief won’t be able to access anything. When I built someone a new PC, I took their old machine, wiped the drive(s) clean and installed Linux Mint as the new OS to give away to low-income families because repurposing an older machine was the best solution I could find for our digital waste, and I recycled any hardware that could not be reused. Before retiring, I had a side business building and troubleshooting/repairing PCs.

VERACRYPT VS CRYPTOMATOR MAC OSX
I spend much of my day in front of my screen, reading email, managing my checking account (I check it at least once a day), listening/watching blog posts, and playing a few games I enjoy (solitaire, jigsaw puzzles, a couple of merge games, etc.), and learning (currently) the Kotlin programming language. VeraCrypt is a free open source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Note (for context): I’m a retiree in my 70’s, and a bit of a computer geek. I just want the process to be transparent, so I don’t have to do anything differently from what I do now in day-to-day use. I’d very much prefer to have the encryption key stored locally (so only I know it) and encrypt my data BEFORE I upload it to my cloud account. Cryptomator sounds like a great idea to me, but it doesn’t go far enough.
