Hmm, having heard of people who couldn't recover their computer (no bitlocker key), actually, that could be handy, lol.

So I’ve just had a quick play with this and yes, it works. Essentially BitLocker has a backdoor. https://github.com/Nightmare-Eclipse/YellowKey Mitigation = BitLocker PIN and BIOS password lock.

@ai6yr Good advice, and I’d also recommend confirming the recovery key actually works by using that instead of the paraphrase to unlock the drive at least one time before substantially using it.
