@possiblylinux127 Exactly. So if someone steals your laptop it can just press the power on button to read your disk. Security my ass.

@possiblylinux127

  1. Password is not mandatory
  2. Some organizations require ultra-simple password formats (e.g. 6 digits)
  3. Afaik password is not enabled by default in windows

Call this security... It's just a marketing lock-in strategy. A good old password is all you need for encrypting a disk.
