1. Password is not mandatory
2. Some organizations require ultra-simple password formats (e.g. 6 digits)
3. Afaik password is not enabled by default in windows

Call this security… It’s just a marketing lock-in strategy. A good old password is all you need for encrypting a disk.

@possiblylinux127 Exactly. So if someone steals your laptop it can just press the power on button to read your disk. Security my ass.

@possiblylinux127 And allows to decrypt the disk if someone steals your laptop: it can just turn it on to read it…

@cm0002 Never understood why one should use tpm when there are good old passwords. It would be better to enforce a long password. To me TPM always looked like a marketing strategy masked by security tools: in the end it’s a device that makes it mandatory to use your hard-drive on a specific machine. It’s even weaker than a good password. Am I wrong?
