For Bitlocker (and I imagine other tools which support TPM keying), a recovery password is generated in addition to the TPM unlock key. If the motherboard goes kaput you dig out the long key to unlock it, assuming you kept it somewhere safe (speaking as someone who has had to dig through a pile of old USBs to get access back to a disk).

- mkopec 3y agoIt's a matter of priorities, I guess? If you want to you can just not save the recovery password. In that case I guess they'll just beat you to death with that $5 wrench.
- robertlagrant 3y agoThat's why I'd rather use a service without a recovery password :)
