    To retrieve your BitLocker recovery key after signing into Microsoft on a different device, you can follow these steps:

    1. Visit the Microsoft Recovery Key Page: Go to the Find your BitLocker recovery key page.
    2. Sign In: Use your Microsoft account credentials to sign in.
    3. Locate Your Key: Once logged in, you should see your BitLocker recovery keys associated with your account. Look for the key that corresponds to the device you are trying to unlock.

    If you have saved the recovery key to your Microsoft account, it should be available there. If you cannot find it, you may need to check other recovery options or contact your help desk for assistance.

    Hello,

    Sign into your personal account here:
    https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey

    If the key has been stored successfully, it should list the device name and the key ID. On your problematic computer, are you stuck on the bluescreen asking for recovery key? It should how you the key ID, use that Key ID tot match what's listed, click into it and you will find the 48 digits recovery key.

    If you set it up with school or work account, it is worth checking here as well https://aka.ms/aadrecoverykey sign in with your work/school email credential in that case.
