BitLocker recovery key/password retention guidelines
The recovery key/password is generated during BitLocker setup, and can be saved and printed after BitLocker is enabled. When using

detects a possible compromise of system integrity.
To help ensure maximum security, observe the following guidelines when retaining the recovery key/password:
Always store the recovery key/password in multiple locations.
Always store copies of the recovery key/password away from the server.
Do not save the recovery key/password on an encrypted drive.
