Because storage is always encrypted on Mac systems with Apple silicon or the T2 chip, the system is instantly and securely “erased” by destroying the encryption keys. System Preferences now offers an option to erase all user data and user-installed apps from the system, while maintaining the operating system currently installed.
Using this new settings option will remove your Apple ID from your Mac entirely, your fingerprints, your paired accessories, your Apple Pay cards, and it will disable Find My. It’s as simple as erasing an iOS or iPadOS device has always been. Now, all you have to do is launch System Preferences and select “erase all contents and settings” from the app menu in the menu bar. But Monterey fixes that for modern machines and makes erasing your M1 Mac or T2 chip Mac a breeze. There were lots of steps required to properly remove everything before handing your Mac off to someone else.

The app is a resource hog, it keeps asking for your Mac password to update, and it doesn’t even support. Previously, a user would have to manually sign out of all of their accounts and use disk utility to erase their drive. If you use Dropbox on Mac, you’ve probably been frustrated with its app at some point.
Monterey comes with an all-new “erase all contents and settings” feature that makes it easier than ever to prepare a Mac for a trade-in or if you’re planning to sell it.

If you’re planning on trading in an existing Mac toward the new MacBook Pro next week, you’ll want to install macOS Monterey when it’s released on Monday.
