    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.

      I always worry the the backup USB drive would be dead.

      I guess I’m one minority but kind of like an ability to fetch the key from the web. Doing that securely of course can be tough.

        Web. USB. Printout in a safe. On my phone. In Keypass. Etc, etc.

        I’m not relying on a single copy.

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