FVE_E_POLICY_PASSPHRASE_REQUIRED

FVE_E_POLICY_PASSPHRASE_REQUIRED The effective BitLocker policy requires a password/passphrase protector, but the requested drive setup does not contain one. The selected encryption workflow must satisfy that mandated protector before it can finish.

What to check

  • Confirm which drive class the policy targets and whether a password protector is mandatory.
  • Create a policy-compliant password through the approved workflow.
  • Verify recovery options separately; a required password does not replace a recovery protector.
