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.
