Why does bitlocker password only need a recovery key?

It’s password only, non tpm and it still creates a recovery key. Why tho?

linux doesn’t do that when using LUKS encryption. trust me I’d love to switch, but can’t.

    oh ok, tysm I finally get it now

    assuming you have that password stored safely somewhere not on that system.

    well you have to have it in ur head, since it asks for it everytime you boot in
