How do I get BitLocker recovery key with my Key ID

I figured it out.  The web site to access the Bitlocker recovery keys has changed.  Go to https://onedrive.live.com/recoverykey.

Hi Martina -

This is Orlando, an Independent Advisor and an expert with Windows 10.

I understand that you're having issues tryin to find your BitLocker Recovery Key and that you only have the 8 Digits Key ID.

BitLocker is a data protection feature that integrates with the operating system and addresses the threats of data theft or exposure from lost, stolen, or inappropriately decommissioned computers. You can find more details about BitLocker on this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/securi...

There are several places that your recovery key may be, depending on the choice that was made when activating BitLocker:

1. Thru your Microsoft Account
2. On a Printout you saved
3. On a USB Flash Drive
4. It is held by your system administrator

Please refer to this link on finding your BitLocker recovery key in Windows 10.

The above list are the only way to recover your BitLocker recovery key. You might want to check with the OEM of your computer to check if they are the one who setup the BitLocker of your computer if the above list does not have your recovery key.

Hope this helps, have a good day.

Thanks,
