I noticed that BitLocker was activated on my device, but I don't recall doing it myself. I'm wondering how it got activated. Could it have been automatically turned on by my system or did someone else do it?

Prior to the activation of this protection, your BitLocker recovery key is meticulously saved to a secure location. This ensures that you have access to it in case you ever need to regain access to your encrypted data.

The recovery key is automatically stored in your Microsoft account, providing you with easy accessibility should you forget your login credentials or encounter any other issues that might prevent you from accessing your device.

Additionally, if your device is associated with a work or school account, the BitLocker recovery key can also be saved there. This feature is especially useful for users who use their devices for professional purposes.

One possible scenario for BitLocker activation on your device involves the automatic enablement of Device Encryption. When this occurs, your device seamlessly initiates the process to secure your data.

By having the recovery key securely stored in your Microsoft account or work/school account, you can rest assured that your data is protected while still maintaining access to it in case of emergencies.
