  2. bitlock recovery information

    Hello Kathy Bridges,

    Good to see you in Microsoft Community.

    Is this your personal computer or it belongs to a company/organization?

    • If it is the latter, you may contact its IT department to help you solve it, as each unit has its own unique security policy to secure the domain environment, that may cause your current trouble and we cannot provide further technical support for this.
    • If it is your personal computer, follow the steps below.

    Generally, you will be prompted to save the Bitlocker recovery key when turning on the Bitlocker encryption, as shown in the following figure.

    • If you choose "Save to your Microsoft account", then it will exist in the Microsoft account you logged in when encrypting, visit Microsoft Account | Device to see your device and its BitLocker recovery key.
    • If you choose the other three, it should be a .txt file with a long name containing alphanumerics, please recall whether and where you have saved it.
    Visit Where can I find my BitLocker recovery key?(microsoft.com) for more details about the Bitlocker recovery key.

    If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

    Best Regards,

    Bitlocker Recovery Key

    No, no other accounts.

    What puzzles me is why the Bitlocker recovery key is not listed on the microsoft account, but there is a recovery key listed there for a computer I do not recognise.

    I have several laptops but only the HP Envy has had Bitlocker on it. So what key is this on my account? And why isn't the Envy key there?
