  1. [BitLocker] Encrypting without generating recovery key?


    I just wish that future PCs/laptops will have the capability to encrypt data just like the way it is done on modern smartphones these days.
    For example, on the iPhone or even Android devices encryption is done by creating a PIN or a Passcode without the need to create or generate a recovery key. Because the Passcode or a PIN is the actual recovery key to decrypt data on the phone.

    This would be more easier on PCs if they would implement the same technology as they do on smartphones.
    That way, users don't have to worry about where and how to store the actual recover keys.

    So basically, I wish PCs would do the same technology the same way as they do on these phones where all you need is a PIN to decrypt the device.

    For example, a Username and Password would be the recovery key without the need to generate one separately.
    I think that would be a good idea for the next versions of Windows in the future. But that would also imply to PC manufacturers as well.

    Actually it does not have anything to do with PC vs. smartphone.

    PCs running Linux (i.e. Ubuntu etc.) are doing it the same way it is being done on Android phones. The PIN/Password is the actual recovery key to decrypt data on the PC with Ubuntu and other Linux distros.

    It's just that MS Windows is requiring an additional recovery key (maybe macOS as well).
