Honestly, so what? I'm not shooting the messenger of course but this privacy stuff is getting silly.
For this to be an issue you have to both have someone steal your device and secondly hack into your MS account. Having your bitlocker key without your disk is as useless as the other way around.
Of course you can do as the article suggests
and stick it on a post-it under your keyboard presumably. I couldn't remember 9 blocks of 6 characters certainly.you'd be strongly advised to write it down
Nonetheless an interesting article for non Pro users (who can't use bitlocker). If you want bitlocker you would buy Pro. If you don't device encryption is a good compromise as your data isn't just saved in the clear on your disk.
