Most countries have key disclosure laws[1] which require you to provide keys or passwords to law enforcement. Not being able to remember the password is not a defense unless you can somehow prove it (which is impossible), and people can and have gone to prison for this[2].

- Terry_Roll 5y agoIts not a case of not being able to remember the passwords if an AI is the only entity that knows them's. Technicality of law. As for people going to prison I know how fascist the UK state can be, I've had it all my life since primary school and they go on about the Uighurs in China! LOL. Reminds me of the IRA petrol bombs and the Ukrainian Petrol bombs going on today. I've had court request letters telling me to go to the wrong courts in the hope they can convict me of speeding in my absence, if I wasnt aware of court procedures which isnt my day job. I'm well aware you dont run a country by being nice.
