  • Also, please link the old questions you refer to, and also explain why a "Find My" lock is not meeting your needs? Commented Feb 14, 2025 at 17:51
  • Your statement that this exists on Intel Macs led me to believe you needed Activation lock and not something that's new with Apple silicon only as an MDM command. Thank you very much for the clarifying comment. Another edit may be needed if you don't want to select Linc Davis' very good answer. Commented Feb 15, 2025 at 14:22
  • Your first link points to a page titled "Set a firmware password on your Mac" (which isn't exactly the same as a recovery lock). Apple explains on the same page that "For the equivalent level of security on a Mac with Apple silicon, simply turn on FileVault". If this doesn't work for you, please edit the question and describe the access protection problem you are trying to solve here. There are some things in the comments below, but that doesn't help to make the question easier to understand. Commented Feb 16, 2025 at 15:18
