It’s good, for privacy and all of course, but I remember here a Dell BIOS upgrade that basically wiped the TPM2.0 and so windows was asking for the recovery bitlocker key at boot. I have them on a encrypted USB key and anyway I can access my MS account from another device to find the key and type it.

But I’m sure a lot of people will basically say “well, fuck, I don’t have the key”, guaranteed.

Where’s your encrypted USB recovery key stored?! Is it encrypted USBs all the way down?
