Configure use of passwords for removable data drives
This policy setting allows you to specify whether smart cards can be used to authenticate user access to BitLocker-protected removable data drives on a computer.
If you enable this policy setting smart cards can be used to authenticate user access to the drive. You can require a smart card authentication by selecting the 'Require use of smart cards on removable data drives' check box.
Note: These settings are enforced when turning on BitLocker, not when unlocking a drive. BitLocker will allow unlocking a drive with any of the protectors available on the drive.
If you disable this policy setting, users are not allowed to use smart cards to authenticate their access to BitLocker-protected removable data drives.
If you do not configure this policy setting, smart cards are available to authenticate user access to a BitLocker-protected removable data drive.
