Password Utility App - Any Thoughts?

Anyone here use this app? Seems to be a solution for logging in remotely after a power failure to a Mac that has FileVault enabled. There is an explanatory video near the end.

If you’re using Tahoe, you can ssh into your
remote Mac first, and then start your normal login.

Sorry for the delay in responding. Life got in the way. Thank you for your response.

I have tried to login but have failed. I want to login and start screen sharing. I have installed tailscale but haven’t figured out how to login with file vault enabled.

Surprised you’re having troubles. I haven’t tried using computer name, I always make the SSH command as verbose as possible, so I specify user ID and IP address explicitly. Of course Remote Login must be enabled

I don’t use Tsilscale as I have made all those connections the old-fashioned way :grin:

Here is a link that might help

…as a reminder if you are using Tailscale and you have this machine set as your “exit node” (or whatever they call it) the machine has to be up to exit.

I followed the steps as shown in the video and it works like a charm. Great feature in Tahoe. Thank you so much for your help.
