Asked By TechieTurtle22 On

I've run into a problem where none of the admin accounts on my Mac have a secure token. I've tried creating new admin accounts, but those also do not have secure tokens. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to this kind of stuff, having just learned about it a few hours ago. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can fix this issue?

Hey there! A secure token basically helps manage access for Mac admin accounts. If your accounts are missing secure tokens, it might be worth looking into how the accounts were created. Sometimes using MDM tools or certain scripts can affect this. If you're new to it, I'd suggest checking Apple's documentation possible solutions for assigning secure tokens. Stick with it!

I get that understanding secure tokens can be frustrating. It's usually the first account created that gets the token and following accounts might not. If you need a secure token for new accounts, you’ll have to transfer it manually or through some Terminal codes, but I’d recommend doing it through the user interface if you’re just starting out.

I think it's common for new admin accounts to not receive a secure token if they're scripted. You could try manually assigning a secure token using the Terminal if you’re comfortable with that. There’s a GUI method, too, like enabling FileVault with the account logged in. If you're interested, I can point you to some good guides!
