Can't access Bitlocker Recovery Key from my account

The device is listed, but when I click on "Manage Recovery Keys" for that device, it goes to a white screen that keeps blinking with the message "Trying to sign you in." I am already signed in, but the screen won't let me do anything anyway. I need to get the recovery key for this laptop, but the website won't let me.

Many people are reporting this problem when trying to access the BitLocker Recovery Key section of their Microsoft account online.

There is nothing wrong with your computer or browser, this is a server issue that Microsoft needs to fix.

Wait a while and try accessing the BitLocker Key Recovery page again, this is an intermittent problem. it should be accessible soon.

    Hello everyone! i have found the fix! you have to log into your microsoft account with a CODE, or some sort of two factor auth instead of your password! the keys require two factor to view, but the prompt for it seems to be the bug! this fixed it for me <3

    Kai, or even better than using login with a code, find the Bitlocker key and recovery keys WITHOUT the Microsoft account; it's your laptop after all so you should not need the Microsoft account to find the Bitlocker key for your own laptop. Use these commands locally on your machine:

    Get-BitLockerVolume | Select-Object MountPoint, KeyProtector

    manage-bde -protectors -get C:

    Microsoft seems to have gotten it working now. I was able to recover the Recovery Key.
