Bitlocker with TPM startup key and PIN

Step 4 below shows how to set up BitLocker with TPM and PIN, but it doesn't use command line since using the UI is much easier.

Turn On or Off BitLocker for Operating System Drive in Windows 10

 

extend bitlocker protection with pin, usb pen drive, or TPM

Hi, I was reading elsewhere, and not covered by this guide, that I could extend bitlocker protection with a pin and even an usb pen drive in addition to the key stored in the tpm. Is there a simple step by the step guide that shows you how to do this correctly? I was briefly looking at different settings in the local group policy editor and found some relevant options, however, I don't want to try to turn it on without having some guidance. Thank-you.

 

Bitlocker with PIN is not working

Hi Kralovic Patrik,

to troubleshoot this issue, please try the following steps:



1. Check if the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is enabled in the BIOS settings of your HP EliteBook 840 G8. BitLocker requires TPM to function properly.



2. Verify that the BitLocker encryption is enabled on the drive where the operating system is installed. You can do this by opening the Control Panel, selecting BitLocker Drive Encryption, and checking the status of the drive.



3. Check if the Group Policy settings are configured correctly. You can do this by opening the Group Policy Editor, navigating to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > BitLocker Drive Encryption > Operating System Drives, and verifying that the "Require additional authentication at startup" policy is enabled.



4. Ensure that the PIN was set correctly. You can do this by opening the Command Prompt as an administrator and running the command "manage-bde -status" to check the status of the BitLocker encryption and the PIN.



If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to contact HP support for further assistance as this could be a hardware-related issue.

Hope it helps.

Kind regards,

Lei
