How do I password protect a USB drive?
in Software ·
I’ve been thinking that you might be able to pull this off using an autorun.inf file—essentially setting it up to launch an autorun.exe that prompts for a password to encrypt the drive or USB stick. However, that feels like trying to build a skyscraper when all you need is a shed; it seems way more complicated than it needs to be. Honestly, it would probably be much more efficient to just go with what someone suggested earlier: a simple password-protected ZIP archive.
