I might be slightly tainted so please don't laugh. Here's the scenario. Wife's 2010 iMac finally died last night. Repair shop looked at it today and said
he could patch it for $400, really fix it for $500, sell me a used iMac for $900 or I could buy a new iMac if I could find one ($1500). With those
choices and the fact several of her "work" apps can't be upgraded on the 2010 model, we decided to purchase a new iMac. I called around
and found a blue one in NC. Got it and took it to the Repair shop at 5:40 pm for them to transfer data from the old HD to the new iMac.
He said it would be no issue for him as he already had access to the hard drive. He asked for my password when I dropped it off as he would need it during the repair.
Here is my dilemma. He will have access to all our passwords, right? What do I need to do to protect our info? Do I just go and change the financial
passwords? I will get the old HD and do some drilling through it before I trash it. With Paypal I have that 2 factor ID or whatever you call it where I get
a text on my phone so Paypal should be protected, right?
