@hfaust Who would have thought that "securing" your bitlocker encryption by connecting it to your Microsoft account for possible recovery would make this possible.
@mirq @hfaust This is different. You connect your microsoft account and bitlocker together, so your recovery keys are attached to your microsoft account at all times for when you need to recover.
Instead of printing your recovery key on a piece of paper and putting it somewhere, you now log into your microsoft account from a different device and get the recovery key for emergency decryption from there. It's a completely stupid thing to do for anyone that knows what encryption is supposed to do. Which also is the crowd that uses VeraCrypt instead of Bitlocker.

@mirq @hfaust You can watch this guy explain. I hate his presentation and style of videos, but he explains the pains of this well for people that do repairs or get asked on how to recover by unknowing people.
