Is it possible to remotely create a local user account on Mac with filevault enabled? This newly created account should show up on the login screen when the Mac is turned on, which it isn’t now.
Whether or not a user account can unlock a FV encrypted disk depends on the means by which you created the account in the first place. In case you don’t already know, a user account should have a secure token enabled to be able to unlock the FV encrypted disk. If I’m not wrong, a secure token will automatically be generated for an account created via the system preferences in the GUI. But that’s not the case when creating user accounts from the command line, in which case you can include the command for associating a secure token along with the script for creating the user account.
Run the below command to associate a secure token with your user account so that it’ll be added to the FV2 enabled accounts list:
sudo sysadminctl -adminUser <your_admin_account> -adminPassword <admin_account_password> -secureTokenOn <standard_user_account> -password <standard_useraccount_password>
