Is a person obliged to provide passwords from his own laptop to the investigating authorities?
I looked here about the detention of the opposition and the seizure of computer equipment. One question arose - is a person obliged to provide passwords? It is clear that they can beat / intimidate, but if purely within the framework of the law, are these norms spelled out somewhere?
Country: Russia
upd: I learned from a friend who works in court: No, I don't have to. If the defendant's password does not speak from the same phone, he (the phone as a physical object) is simply attached to the case and that's it.

It seems that you are not legally required to remember passwords. Bad memory is not a crime.
If within the framework of the legislation, then Article 51 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation
No one is obliged to testify against himself, his spouse and close relatives, the circle of which is determined by federal law.
but if purely within the law,
Yes, when a case is filed and an investigation is underway. For the same reason, corporate and private correspondence is removed from various servers and devices. It’s just that there is no one on the street or detention, no matter who intimidates them and what they don’t tell.
