I personally don't care about boot passwords. They're not reliable and are largely a waste of time - if someone has physical access, they can pull the disk and do what they feel with it.


In my case, it won't matter because the two things I care about are my keychain (which is never stored unencrypted) and my documents, which are stored on an AES-128 encrypted disk image:
