Re:Americans' Access to Strong Encryption Is at Risk, an Ope... by rocqua on Thursday May 04, 2017 @07:20AM (#14264005)
A "better" way to do this would be to use key-escrow where a key only you have access to is needed to unlock the escrowed key.

If your personal escrow key is government mandated, and well-protected, that prevents the issue of you forgetting passwords (Estonia already has something like this). It also fully ensures that the government accessing escrowed keys requires you being informed.

I still don't support this plan, but it is the best thing I've seen.
