What’s the point of a long password on Windows? I understand that you sometimes don’t want people accessing your stuff, but at it takes to bypass that and someone access your files is booting off of a USB stick. Or do you perhaps use full disk encryption?
Most people are more worried about remote attackers than someone physically putting hands on their PC. But, yes, you should pretty much without exception be using full disk encryption.
It’s very assholish of Microsoft to lock bitlocker behind the Pro license.
