 I have an 8GB Micro SD card from my phone and I connected it to my PC and formatted it as NTFS and encrypted the entire sd card using BitLocker under Windows 10. How secure is it really? Would I be able to use it to backup passwords without needing to worry about someone just looking inside and stealing them?

As far as I know, it's considered more than good enough that no random person could break it, but potentially not immune to NSA-level attacks

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?
