MacBook Pro 15" touchbar

Hello,
my new MacBook Pro arrived

Should I turn on "File Vault"?
If I remember, that is not good for my SSD, right?

Greetings,
Laura

File Vault is fine. Won't harm the SSD. It means nobody can unlock it through the Recovery OS without your password.

Just be aware that if you have it enabled, you can't use the auto login feature.

Thank you for your reply .
So, I can not use my AppleWatch or my finger to deactivate the lock screen?

You can still use those.

Do you turn on the firewall also?
