If you use your key every day you tend not to forget it. If I as an admin give you your key: it is “leaked” effectively.

- john_strinlai 3mo ago>If you use your key every day you tend not to forget it. hoping users don’t forget their password is a very weak policy. specifically, the policy and admin points you brought up above, how does veracrypt solve them?
- LtWorf 3mo agoYou don't have remote back ups enabled?
- john_strinlai 3mo agoveracrypt does not include a remote backup system
- LtWorf 3mo agoOf the work, not of the encryption.
- john_strinlai 3mo agowe're talking about veracrypt vs. bitlocker in a managed enterprise environment. whether there are backups or whatever else is irrelevant because it would be true in both the veracrypt and the bitlocker scenario.
- LtWorf 3mo agoWe are talking about IT policies. I don't know what YOU think we're talking about.
- dijit 3mo agoWe're sort of talking about two things and conflating them. I'm sort of talking about my user experience of the system, and I'm getting it in the neck from helpdesk. Enterprise rollouts are different from anything I actually deliver, despite pushing out thousands of windows servers: I have complete control over those. Same as my local PC. But as a user on a PC I'd buy from a store, I'm not going to forget my password without expecting to lose access to my system.
- john_strinlai 3mo ago>We're sort of talking about two things and conflating them. [...] But as a user on a PC I'd buy from a store i said multiple times that i was talking about a managed fleet in an enterprise environment, and even specifically said that i dont typically recommend bitlocker for personal use, so i am not really sure what to say here. i was really clear.
- dijit 3mo agoYes, but I still think we've been talking passed each other. I doubled down on "it's fine but not excellent" when I should have pulled away and explained that the main issues I have are about bitlocker as a user.
- dcrazy 3mo agoHave you never gone on vacation and forgotten your daily-use password upon return?
- LtWorf 3mo agoNop.
- technion 3mo agoOur helpdesk deals with 2-300 users per day that logon every single day yet forgot their password. This type of thinking doesn't work in large enough orgs dealing with end users.
