Windows 10: BitLocker Auto-Unlock

I want to have BitLocker enabled, but I want to turn on auto-unlock so I don’t have to continuously enter my BitLocker password. I’ve seen some systems with this setting in Manage BitLocker, but I do not see it on mine. Does anyone know why I don’t see it? Also is there another way to log into my system without entering my BitLocker password? Thanks.

HELP: Automatic BitLocker Unlock.

Thank you sir, ill try your solution.

Windows Auto unlock ONLY works in case you have Bitlocker on your system drive, because if your system drive is not encrypted auto unlocking other drives means loss of security.
But in my case my system drive is Encrypted with hardware encryption that i password unlock during boot. So auto unlocking Bitlocker drives will do fine for me.

 

Enable Bitlocker auto-unlock without system drive encryption

1. turn off bitlocker on the drive you want to auto-unlock
   
2. mount this drive as a removable drive
   i.e plug it into a usb attached drive unit such as StarTech or many others
   
3. boot the system and bitlock the drive and turn on auto-unlock
   
4. shutdown the system
   
5. mount the drive as a permanent drive
   
6. reboot the system and the drive will auto-unlock because windows now thinks
   that it is a removable drive
   

Works For Me with no problems

 

Auto-unlock BitLocker "for this user"

I have a laptop running Windows 10 Pro, fully updated. There are several other users on this PC.
Recently, I purchased an external hard disk to back up my “personal” files.
When I used BitLocker to encrypt the HD I learned that the feature I tried to use didn’t work as I thought.
I wanted to set BitLocker to “auto-unlock FOR THIS USER ONLY” and not have the HD files available to the other users.
Instead, it auto-unlocks “FOR THIS PC” and everyone has access to it.
And it remains unlocked even if I sign out; I must either turn off the PC or restart it when I am through.
Worse, this is true even if I don’t use the auto-unlock feature!
I could buy a third-party program to lock my files on the HD, but then why have BitLocker?
Any ideas?



Microsoft, are you listening?
