Basically the title. If My Mac were to have an issue, and I keep my backup files on WD Unlocker encrypted WD My Passport, will I be able to unlock it in macOS Recovery or will I have to decrypt it on a separate computer?

Well, I think yes, you might be able to unlock the Time Machine drive in macOS Recovery Mode.

Thanks for the answer! For me it doesn’t seem to work, but maybe it works for others.
