[BitLocker] Encrypting without generating recovery key?
Hi,
is there a way to encrypt a BitLocker drive without generating a recovery key?
Other encryption tools such as DiskCryptor/VeraCrypt/TrueCrypt or those found on Linux can simply be used with one PIN, no recovery key required.
BitLocker also allows to encrypt using a PIN. But, even when using a PIN, it still always seems to require to generate a recovery key in addition.
Is it possible to disable recovery keys altogether? So that only a PIN is set up to encrypt the drive and nothing else?
Why would you want a recovery key anyway, when you are already using a PIN? Why would you want to generate two passwords (PIN + recovery key) instead of just one password (only PIN without any recovery key)?
