Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for providing access to a recovery key of a managed device and rotating the recovery key after it has been accessed. In one example, among others, a system includes a computing device and program instructions. The program instructions can cause the computing device to authenticate a user on the computing device in order to unlock an operating system based on a first recovery key. A key rotation command can be received from the management service. The key rotation command can include an instruction to rotate the first recovery key. The computing device can generate a second recovery key and transmit the second recovery key to the management service.
