uhoh, and wait for the time when the user will update his BIOS, that resets TPM2, and at reboot bitlocker asks for the 48 digits key to decrypt hard drive, that the user never saved...
I updated my BIOS few days ago and on reboot got a warning about bitlocker and resetting fTPM, but I'm on linux. I dumped luks headers, and master priv keys before resetting just in case but everything worked as usual. Do you know if I just got lucky or if luks dosn't use TPM? Should I hold on to the luks headers and master priv key backup?
LUKS don't use TPM
There's an extension that can unlock LUKS drives using the TPM, but by default it does not do that, and probably that extension isn't installed either
