Is there any point in having secure boot enable if I have an admin password for my BIOS?
I imagine that with an admin password, anyone looking get into my device wouldn’t be able to change the boot order, therefore making secure boot useles.
Am I wrong about this? Or are there any other benefit to secure boot?
many bios has options to set different passwords example i have password to before boot hard drives ( Hardware encryption ), login to bios password and admin password
i use login to bios and admin password since fedora does encrytpion now untill hardware encryption comes
With any discussion of security what matters is knowing what threat you are defending against.
What is your “threat model”?
Are yiu keeping a child out of you PC?
Or protecting personal data from a thief?
Or nation state hackers?
Secure boot protects the boot chain.
I can change the chain by changing your disk contents.
I do not need your bios password to do this.
I can simply remove the disk from your hardware, change it in my hardware, then put it back.
