Also, what if he forgot the password?
IANAL but surely it would help to be able to prove that you've forgotten the password. If you use the same password (or small amount of password) for everything, and you can do it by muscle memory, then you probably haven't forgotten.
If you can show a blog post you wrote 2 years ago explaining how you change your passwords every month, then you might be safer.
- jlgreco 13y agoHow could you possibly prove that you have forgotten a password? Even being able to point to a rigorous password policy wouldn't really do it (and trivially few people would be able to do that much). Proving that you forgot your password, like other forms of "proving your innocence", is an absurd expectation. The prosecution should have to prove that you did not forget it, and if they cannot do that then tough shit.
- dbg31415 13y agoIf you're technical enough to encrypt your drives, you are technical enough not to use the same passwords on everything. I couldn't tell you any of my passwords off the top of my head. They're all stored in password managers. Additionally, as someone else pointed out, it could be the case that the password he has expired and is no longer valid.
