This technology is based on the assumption, that’s when your laptop was missing or stolen, the supporting laptop ac adapter with it will not missing or bing stolen in the same time, so the laptop ac adapter is an important part when storing the password.

In the submission of the patent document, apple plan to put a little memory chip in the laptop ac adapter to store the laptop or smart phone encrypted password (or secret security issues), so that only the corresponding computer or telephone can use the password recovery  data function.
