Solution: Just encrypt it with a password.

Bit locker is a password controlled drive encryption. Am I being dumb or are you seriously saying that?

I guess they mean use the password as part of the encryption key, or encrypt the key with the password. Bitlocker doesn’t use the user’s password in that way, which is why it can boot an encrypted system without user interaction. That part always seemed very sketchy to me.

FYI: You can set it to require a PIN + TPM, or even just a password eg using manage-bde -on c: -password.
