Windows Bitlocker and automatic unlock password storage safety

$

I've encrypted my external HDD with a Bitlocker and after rebooting computer I tried to open that drive and got this message:

Say, if I pick to "Automatically unlock on this computer from now on", does this mean that Windows will store my password somewhere in the registry?

PS. Or, are they smart enough to store only the hash -- preferably salted?
