  • Sure, but on a work questionnaire you obviously aren’t supposed to list your private responsibilities and priorities.

    Your private responsibilities and priorities are a whole different topic that’s pretty much entirely unrelated except that work lies in there somewhere. They obviously aren’t saying that work should be on top of your private responsibilities list.

    It’s really weird that that even included that as an option. Possibly done in bad faith but likely just incompetence.

    apparently it’ll pwrma lock itself after x amounts of invalid passwords which is just incredibly stupid. But don’t worry, there is a backup key! Yeah, that is lie

    If you only used TPM for bitlocker with no pre-boot authentication or something similar, it’s possible that you had the “MaxDevicePasswordFailedAttempts” policy configured. Apparently that is configured by default if you use the security baseline.

    IMO it makes a lot of sense to lockdown and require bitlocker recovery if there has been a few failed attempts.

    We use bitlocker on probably over 1000 devices I don’t believe we had any substantial issues with it. Of course users occasionally get locked out, but that should be planned for and a process should be in place to help them.

    I suggest deploying windows hello or smart cards to reduce the dependency on passwords. Window hello for business is especially great since it’s free, secure and way easier and faster for users to use, especially if your devices have fingerprint readers or face recognition. I wish Linux and MacOS had anything as useful as Windows Hello.
