Are there any conflicts when I turn on both Bitlocker Encryption and Power-on Authentication of HP

[Angel2016]

I have a HP Elitebook 8560W. It uses Windows 10 Pro, version 1607.

At this time, I turned on Bitlocker Encryption for my Operating System with authentication method (TPM + PIN).

I want to ask that Power-on Authentication feature of HP Client Security and Bitlocker Encryption for Operating System, are there any conflicts when I turn on both of them.

I wait for response. Thank you.

Hello,

I have used and still use this combo on one PC:

- BitLocker + TPM  (no PBA, no PIN)

- HP Client Security software with PowerOn authentication feature enabled

I have never tried to have BitLocker PIN active and HP Drive encryption PIN active because it is not necessary to have 2 PBA screens and is an overkill. I think it will work fine but cannot guarantee - never tried it bit is an overkill. You can disable BitLocker's PIN and enable the one from HP, or just rely on BitLocker's one.

Hope this helps.

BitLocker and HP Drive encryption, they are same encryption software. It has conflicts  when encrypting the same OS. I know that.

You can try:

1. BitLocker + TPM with PIN for Operating System.

2. HP Client Security software with PowerOn authentication feature enabled (Don't turn on HP Drive Encryption for Operating System).

Thank you very much if you try.

Hi, You are welcome.

HP Drive encryption and BitLocker - sure, this is big *no-no* and won't work.

I only use BitLocker + ClientSecurity with PBA on
