In addition to the initial User Account created during the setup process, macOS provides the option to create additional User Accounts on Mac, with and without admin privileges.
While you can make use of the initial User Account to login and get your work done, the recommended security practice is to keep the initial User Account for Admin related tasks and use another User Account for login and day-to-day tasks.
In addition to this, it is also important that you create another User Account on your MacBook with Admin Privileges, in order to deal with the possibility of being locked out of your main User Account.
