Re: The issue is changing the password...

Having the drive manufacturer decide the encryption key means that the user isn't in control. The chosen solution just adds extra steps for no good reason, and now we see the resulting facepalm. KISS is more important in security designs than in most other areas, IMO. The issue with changing the key is no big deal, the process will just take some time.Small price for getting a key you can actually change...
