Especially given how easy it is to bypass Bitlocker anyway: https://youtu.be/Cc6vrQSVMII
Awww, Windows. You can mitigate that by using a PIN on bitlocker drive. Possibly.
Edit: also more secure with security keys: https://www.yubico.com/works-with-yubikey/catalog/secure-disk-for-bitlocker/
Thanks for this, I accidentally locked my wife's tablet when I was testing if Linux would run on it from USB drive. Came back to win 11 and it was bitlocked, with no codes in her Microsoft account and no idea where else to find them. Hopefully I can study this and figure out a way to bypass it

The recommended mitigation is the use of TPM and a PIN, which is going to apply to any machine where the user went “with the flow” during Windows 11’s OOBE
