I have tried 3 times to erase and encrypt a new Seagate 5tb external hard drive using Disk Utlity on Catalina. Used OS Extended (Journaled, Encryted), set passord hint. Then after I unplug and plug the drive back in, the passwrod hint does not show. Tried with my other Macbook on Mojave and the same happened. When I set erase/encrypt and set password hint on my old Mountain Lion Macbook, the password hint stays but I no longer have access to Mountain Lion after I upgraded to Catalina.
Any advice for how one can get password hint to work? I have the password but I might forget it in a year so I don't want to use the drive until the password hint is working. Thanks in advance x
