In Mountain Lion I was able to copy the key using VO-Shift-C, to copy the last spoken phrase. You should be able to use this—it's a great one to remember when VO can't interact and select text to be copied.
Apple will not be able to email you the key as Apple does not keep any copy for security purposes. So if you didn't copy it or write it down that first time you won't be able to get it back. Instead of getting the key, just write your password down somewhere safe where you won't forget it. Somewhere like 1Password would be good as it will be encrypted and you can access it from places other than your Mac, such as an iOS device. You might also like to just save it in a text file somewhere like Dropbox, only don't indicate in any way what it is (e.g. don't say File Volt Password, just write it somewhere you'll know where to look, and even disguise it some way if you can). If your memory is good, then I'd recommend not actually writing the password, just writing down a good hint that you know will remind you of it if you one day forget. Though I started to set up File Volt, I chickened out when it told me VoiceOver wouldn't work properly on the login screen. How easy is it to login with that beep method? And is that every time you login? Does it happen even at the login screen when the Mac wakes from sleep, or only when first booting up?

So I’ll need to call AppleCare and ask them for the key and email it to myself. How were you able to copy the key? When I am able to generate a new key I’ll try your way of copying to see if it changed or not. Hopefully, though, it hasn’t changed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
