Are any major computer vendors enabling this by default? Phones are encrypted by default, seems obvious to do the same for laptops and such.

- raesene9 11y agoSome phones are encrypted if you add a passcode, but won't be unless you do. Also AFAIK android still isn't by default event when a passcode is set. One of the problems with doing it by default is the consequences of a lost password. On a consumer device (where there's unlikely to be an admin backup password) a lost/forgotten password can result in the user losing all their data. Once people get to the point of storing all personal data off machine (e.g. OneDrive / icloud) it would make more sense to have this kind of thing enabled by default.
