FileVault never gave me a security key

I upgraded to Yosemite (MacBook Pro 2012), and I enabled FileVault for the first time during the Yosemite setup. FileVault is now on, but it never gave me a security key!

I've seen another report of that happening in the same circumstance (i.e., enabling FileVault during Yosemite upgrade). The only thing I can think of to suggest would be to turn it off and after that process has finished, turn it back on again.
Instructions for turning off (says Mavericks but same in Yosemite): OS X Mavericks: Turn off FileVault disk encryption
Turn on: OS X: About FileVault 2

If you log into your account are you able to set them ? Go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side are you able to select the questions/answers ? If not then is there a reset link beneath the 2 questions ? (The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account.)
If not then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

Still want a solution for me to use my previous existing SYNC account (from my XP comp., for which I have the security key) on my new WIN 8.1 computer.

My old XP computer died. When I loaded FireFux on my new WIN 8.1 computer, "I never got the option to enter my old security key to activate my existing SYNC account on my new computer."
At this point I am so disillusioned with FireFux' SYNC feature that I won't even try to activate it on my new computer. "SYNC is nothing more than a crutch made of Papier Mache; after you are using it for a while getting around pretty well, it will suddenly become non-functional and be found to be beyond repair."

THanks for your prompt and concise answer. Since i am used to working around to get things done, i can give it a try. after I do this ho do i go about deleting tabs from old computers, which show up in my list of "TABS FROM OTHER DEVICES", on other devices (I NOW have about five old devices)?
or,alternatively,is this all more work than it is worth? --as i noticed tha FIREFOxh as already started syncing up my devicest hat areusingth esame gmAILacco unt?

HT204088 I never had to ask security questions before and it is asking me for the answers in order to make a purchase. I am MAD because it says to call customer support which is no good unless you want to pay $20!!! I will NOT pay $20 just to find out wh

There is a new format for iTunes since the last time I used it and I am really upset right now. It tells me to answer security questions which I don't remember having to answer before to purchase music, It is asking questions which I am sure I never gave answers to so it is rejecting my purchase. It then tells me to call customer support, which I do, but then it will not allow me to talk to a live person unless I pay $20!!!!! That is a bunch of bull if I have to pay $20 just to ask about this new format!!!! Where can I go for help now? Will a store help me with these so called "security" questions I never answered?

TS1398 what password do you have to use to connect to Wifi WPA is it the Security Key or password your provider gives you or ipod password ?

what is password you need to connect to new Wifi ? is it WPA Security Key or password your provider gave you or ipod password ??
None work

The pasword of the wi-fi network to which you are trying to connect.

What is the security key?

I don't know my security key. I have tried my id and password with noo success.......HELP, please.

sounds like you mean your wifi networks encryption password
as stated non of the rest of us renember your password
if you never changed it then maybe the manual you got with your wifi router tell the default password
otherwise you can connect the appletv by ethernet then the encryption key is not required

C4580 Wireless Networking Issue - WEP Security Key not accepted.

I keep getting this error whe doing network setup on my new Photosmart C4580.
"Your wireless rounter requires a WEP secuirty key. The security key configured on your printer does not match exactly. Reconfigure your wireless network WEP security key for your printer."
I have downloaded an updated installer. I have tried to access the printer via the IP address to make the change. It is never updated. When I run the Wireless Network Test Report it also shows it fails. I am entering in the first WEP security key (Index 1). I know the key is being entered correctly. I have even copied and pasted it. Nothing works.
Help Please!

Jim:
Thanks for your comments. I think you may be right. I have more information now. I installed a later version of the C4500 package (to fix another problem where the PC Firewall and internet access was disabled for 3 mins at startup), and the network setup/diagnostics are different in the newer package. After installing this the first time, everything worked - I mean everything, even scan from printer. During the Network Setup the wizard found only one network (mine). However, the Wireless Network Report said it had detected two.
However, the next time I switched the printer on, it never connected. Network diagnostics then told me that the PC and the printer were on different networks, 192.168.0.0 and 169.254.0.0 and that this usually results from two close networks with the default router manufactures SSID. This is not the case here - I am in any case in a very isolated country farm! It also (predictably) said the WEP was wrong. At one point in the diagnostic I can see it's trying 169.254.196.213. There's nothing on my network other than 192.168.0.* Attempts to reconfigure the network again show that there is only one network detected on-air, and no duplicate SSIDs, but the same result in the diagnostic - crossed-networks. Even re-installing the software won't fix it now. Whereas before I could at least print/scan from the PC and only the printer 'thought' the network was dead, now the network really IS dead and I am left with a USB-only setup.
I think you may be right that the printer somehow 'remembers' a phantom/ghost network. What I need is some way to hard-reset the printer. I saw in other postings that you know something about this, at least on other printers. Alternatively, I need a way to set the printer network parameters, including hard-coded IP address, over the USB but WITHOUT the router radio on, then switch it on and let the HP network setup wizard find it over the radio. Any ideas on that one please?

Security key question

I have just set up a wireless router. Things are working great except that once I log in with a security key once it never asks againg when I reconnect. I want users to have to give a security key each time they connect. How do I do that?

With most Linksys routers and most wireless adapter software, this is not possible. The wireless adapter software normally memorizes the password. As long as the password stays the same, the user does not need to re-enter it.
What router and wireless adapter(s) are you using?
One other question: Why do you want users to repeatedly type in a password?

HT4628 where is the security key?

where is the security key?

"Security key" is a term that some manufacturers use for your wireless network password or passcode.
In rare circumstances some products might require the actual 64 digit hex code that is generated by the password. If your device is asking for a very long code of numbers and letters, post back to tell us what operating system you are using on your computer.
I've never had to use the hex code in 20+ years, but you never know.

I need help changing the security key for WRT54G2 1.5

I already know the security key on my network, I just need to change it. I don't have 'cisco connect'. I've tried the web based method with the 192.168.1.1 IP and using 'admin' for the password, but that gives me a '401 Not Authorized' error. I've tried using my own security key instead of 'admin' and that doesn't work either. How do I change this. I tried to use the Linsky's knowledgebase and that didn't help. Live Chat won't help unless I'm willing to sign-up for some paid service plan, and there is no way I'm doing that. I've never heard of a company charging their customers just to explain how to do something. All I have is a simple question about how to change the network security key when I already know what it is and there is no problem with the connection. Can anyone help me. PLEASE.

If admin didn’t work, it’s possible that you might have setup a different password to login to the setup of the router when you initially set it up. Since admin and your security key didn’t work when you tried accessing your router page, the other option for you then is to reset the router. Push and hold the reset button on the router using a pin or a paper clip for 30 seconds and unplug the power cord for another 30 seconds. Once the power light goes solid, you may start reconfiguring the settings of the router. For instructions, refer to these links: Setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service & Setting up a Linksys router for DSL Internet connection. Once you establish the wired internet connection, you may then start reconfiguring the wireless settings. Go to the Wireless tab: set the wireless configuration to manual; set a network name; then save the settings. Once saved, click on Wireless Security subtab: set the security mode to WPA2 Personal and enter a new security key on the passphrase bar.

WLC4402 SECURITY KEY

Hi,
I have one WLC 4402 & arround 29 Access point (1130) in our enterprise network. Wireless users LAN segment is diffrent from wired users.Wireless users like Laptop users, Mobile users & ipad users which are connetced with this wireless & using enterprise network.
Presently we are using WEP mode for security key. This WEP key are week & can be cracked easily. so security point of view i want to put strong encription mode.
Presently i do not have any radius server.
I found there are some modes are available Like WPA, WPA2 with PSK etc.
will there any problem with wireless users to access application after changing the mode?
Please suggest us which mode will be stronger & could not be crack. Could we achieve without radius server or not?
Thanks

Vinod,
If you do not want to use or have a RADIUS server, you can use WPA2 with a pre-shared key (PSK). This is the strongest encryption you have available to you short of using 802.1X (RADIUS server). Use an ASCII key of at least 8 characters.
Users on most platforms will be prompted for the key when they select the network. This makes the join process pretty painless for them. If they had previously joined the network with a WEP key, then their old configuration will be invalid and their association will fail. In some cases, the client may just give up trying and will not prompt the user for the preshared key because it is looking for a WEP network.
I have one customer that is a University. They actually change the whole SSID of the network each semester, which forces every user to create a brand new association to a brand new SSID that was never before in use. This has cut down on support calls for them significantly. You may want to consider this approach (of simply creating a new WLAN/SSID) so that you're not dealing with stale WEP configurations on clients that don't handle the security change well. Creating a new WLAN has the added benefit of you being able to smoothly migrate users over to the new SSID without causing a network outage for users who cannot migrate right away (or who otherwise need help doing it).

Let F-Secure key mark old passwords

It's important to change ones passwords, can we get F-Secure key to mark passwords as obsolete or due after say 60 days?

Network security key resets every few hours

Hi all, I have had an 802.11b wireless router for a few years now, and over the past few months I have been getting kicked off the network every few hours and having to reset the router in order to get back on. I ran a diagnostic check and it is telling me that my security key is not correct, even when it is the same saved password that I was using that earlier let me on the network (as in, I only typed it once for both times). Is this a known error? Has this ever happened to anyone else? I am thinking I will just replace the equipment but I'm curious to see if anyone else has had such strange experience. This happens to me on either XP or Vista. Any advice or thoughts are appreciated.

Hi,
First thing you should try is to update the firmware of the router. As your router is a bit older.
After this Check the security key by logging to routers setup and if it is not your security key, then you can change it.
To check security key, connect your computer to one of the four ports on router using ethernet cable.
1.      Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. Use your password if you have changed it earlier
2.      Go to wireless tab.
3.      Go to wireless security sub-tab
4.      If security mode is wpa or wpa2 note down passphrase/shared key, if security mode is WEP note down wep key number 1. This will be your network key

HT201303 I never set up any security questions for my Apple ID and I was asked on the app store to sign in and answer my security questions. I never made security questions in the first case. I can't purchase anything without them. What should I do?

I never set up any security questions for my apple ID and I was asked on the app store to sign in and answer my security questions, I never made any in the first place and it came up with questions that I didn't know. I've already been in support and tried to reset them, but I have to answer the security questions in order to change them. Is there any way to find out what they are?
