This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

And if you use BitLocker, do NOT backup your recovery key to the cloud!

Print out out, give it to a friend, don't mention it via electronic means (email, text, Snapchat, YouTube, and so on...)
And if you use BitLocker, don't!
What is a better windows alternative?

Don’t print it. Your previous prints are easily retrievable
Even better is to memorize it.
Hide it in a poem in a leather bound book at the end of a trap-filled dungeon.
Hide it in a book in a buried chest on a minecraft world 5000 blocks from spawn.
Unironically not a terrible idea. Who tf would check your minecraft for irl keys. Could probably have a library in a world just full. Probably isnt encrypted though. Probably just plain text in a game file on your drive somewhere
I stole from someone else that hid the urls of porn sites in a chest when he was a kid. Think it was pretty old, probably on Reddit, learned about it maybe 2 years ago. I don't know anything about encryption or protecting sensitive information, certainly not of this nature, but it could potentially work. Would be quite a few chests full if anon is doing something with a lot of intricate details.
I'll hide it at the end of my mix tape.
Ill be honest, this is clearly the best idea out there for passwords safety
Now when you say a trap-filled dungeon. What exactly do you mean?
nothing incriminating, your honour, just some harmless pranks such as water buckets above the doors.
I don’t think that’s the kind of trap they were alluding to…
Oh, I got that, I just refuse to entertain the possibility.
Y’know what, fair enough.
I think I've heard if you have a Microsoft account it automatically gets backed up
