Why does bitlocker password only need a recovery key?

It’s password only, non tpm and it still creates a recovery key. Why tho?

linux doesn’t do that when using LUKS encryption. trust me I’d love to switch, but can’t.

oh ok, tysm I finally get it now

assuming you have that password stored safely somewhere not on that system.

well you have to have it in ur head, since it asks for it everytime you boot in

thanks for ur answer, it made some stuff a lot clearer, but the thing is in the video tutorial he’s using password only(no tpm) and it still requires you to create a recovery key, which makes no sense yk, since you’re using a password to encryt it.

on Linux with luks, it never asked for me to save a recovery key.
