    I think this is a step in the right direction. Everyone can lose a portable device or it can get stolen, so protecting the potentially sensitive data is important.

    I think what people are complaining about is not full-disk encryption itself, but the fact that people are not used to being responsible for their cryptographic keys.

    I think we should educate people regarding this responsibility. We did it with regular keys we use to unlock our homes.

      Are they even saved by default in an MS account? Because if I’d link one, I would expect them to at least prompt me

        I believe you can find them in the first Microsoft account that you registered to that windows install.
