Microsoft Tips for Windows
Remote Workers: Backup Your BitLocker Recovery Key
BitLocker is the Windows encryption technology that protects your data from unauthorized access by encrypting your drive and requiring one or more factors of authentication before it will unlock it. In normal use BitLocker simply unlocks when you successfully sign into Windows.
However, Windows will require a BitLocker recovery key when it detects a possible unauthorized attempt to access the drive. This can also happen if you make changes in hardware, firmware, or software which BitLocker can’t distinguish from a possible attack. In these cases, BitLocker may require the extra security of the recovery key. Follow the link to learn more.
