>If you use your key every day you tend not to forget it.

hoping users don’t forget their password is a very weak policy.

specifically, the policy and admin points you brought up above, how does veracrypt solve them?

We're sort of talking about two things and conflating them.

I'm sort of talking about my user experience of the system, and I'm getting it in the neck from helpdesk.

Enterprise rollouts are different from anything I actually deliver, despite pushing out thousands of windows servers: I have complete control over those.

Same as my local PC.

But as a user on a PC I'd buy from a store, I'm not going to forget my password without expecting to lose access to my system.

You don't have remote back ups enabled?
