Full Disk Access is a security feature introduced in macOS 10.14 Mojave that requires some applications to be explicitly granted permission to access protected user files. In previous versions of macOS, this permission was automatically granted to all applications during installation. However, starting with macOS 10.14, you must manually enable it for certain applications. BitLocker Anywhere For Mac needs Full Disk Access to list BitLocker-encrypted drives. Without this permission, the software will not be able to detect BitLocker drives, making it impossible to access their contents.
Now that you know on systems running macOS Mojave (10.14) and later you need to add Hasleo BitLocker Anywhere For Mac to the Full Disk Access list, let's talk about how to do it.
Step 1. Go to your Mac's System Preferences, open 'Security & Privacy' window > 'Privacy' tab > 'Full Disk Access'.
Step 2. Click the lock and enter an administrator password to allow changes.
Step 3. Add Hasleo BitLocker Anywhere to Full Disk Access based on your macOS version.
