Also another cool feature: if the TPM stops working for some reason you lose all your data! (unless you have offsite backups, which you should anyways). I'm saying this kinda jokingly but this really is a feature of keeping the keys in your TPM, in a lot of situations this is a desired behavior. Be aware that in the case of Bitlocker specifically Microsoft "conveniently" saves your encryption key on their "cloud", so you don't really need the TPM to decrypt stuff, which of course goes completely against the purpose of storing the key there in the first place. Oh yeah, also: DON'T trust Bitlocker, it's absolutely compromised if you are using an SSD which provides firmware "encryption".
