I was also aware of this - but I dont want my Mac to actually auto login, for obvious reasons!

I just want me to able to remotely login!

You could have another script that immediately triggers the Lock Screen after boot...but agreed this comes with many compromises.

But if your Mac is physically secure, and has no keyboard or monitor on it anyway, I don't quite understand the risk? Remote login still requires the password after this of course. But if physical security is a concern it makes sense.

Also I suppose there's other risks from having a decryption key sitting in NVRAM.
