How user personal keys work

Prev Next

User personal keys provide the ability to create unique keys for users.

User personal keys are generally used as recovery keys for user local keys and as auto unlock keys for removable media encryption. Assigning a user personal key as the auto unlock key for Removable Media encryption provides a transparent authentication experience to the user who encrypted the removable media.

Note

User personal keys can't be assigned to systems.
