    How high is the percentage of people using a 12 character key, not stored in the TPM but only in their mind to unlock their phones in your experience? I’m not arguing that Linux luks or aes-256 is not secure, I’m arguing that nearly nowhere it is implemented in a way where ONLY you hold the key ONLY in your mind.

    Encrypting something and putting the key on the storage is like locking the front door and put the key under the mat, if you have a TPM its like having it hidden somewhere on the property. Enough to keep your nosy aunt out, not enough to keep the police/mafia/big data out if they for some reason really want that information
