Your laptop storing a Wifi credential locally is terrifying?
I think it’s plain text? Unless recovery environment has a symmetrical encryption scheme and it can decrypt the cypher text stored in nvram?
I just checked nvram -p
It has the SSID in plaintext in current-network and preferred-network, not the passphrase. I’m not sure how it’s obfuscated or encrypted but it is not plaintext
its storing it on the god damn motherboard, not a flashdrive or something
