Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. Same problem?Īfter testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior it’s normal. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings.

#MACBOOK ENCRYPTION KEY HOW TO#
Now I know the cause, but I have no idea how to fix it. So the Macbook got everyone's key hence can see others' Handoff payload, but since none of others had the Macbook Pro's key, its payload could not be seen by any other devices.

I have cleared all the handoff related keychains off both Macs, and reproduced the problem. After monitoring the logs and keychain, I discovered that the Macbook Pro simply won't reply to any Handoff encryption key request. I have this handoff one way problem between 2 Macs and another iOS devices, a Macbook Pro can get see others handing off, but none of others can see anything from the Macbook Pro.
