Has anyone found a password protection software that works with this jump drive? I have tried several, but none seem to work

I haven't even been able to get the darn thing to record. The directions are pretty much non-existent. Any tips?

What Tony said. I use GiliSoft USB Encryption software (not free). It allows me to secure as much of the drive as I want ans leave the rest unsecured. I've been very pleased with it.

Not sure what you are asking. Can you use encryption software to protect your data? Yes. Does it have hardware encryption built-in? No. It's just a USB flash drive.

Nope. For me it worked as expected--it didn't mount as a drive unless you use the password.

no. mine works, i mean turns on, vista sees, etc, but not even close to fully and properly. if you are trying to do a backup, try something different. in the encrypted mode, i can't even write additional files to the drive.

I thought the same thing, however after I added a 2gb Sony micro vault usb drive...nothing changed. I tried WoO and got the loading screen but it won't move beyond that point...much like the other titles I mentioned. I guess ill be calling Sony again to figure this out. Ill post here with new details...

Check he website. I think I saw some programs that you could download. But the drive works like any other so you can just use your OS backup software which works like a charm. It's really plug and play, no software needed.

The drive do not come with build in firmware encryption. It is like a regular fast speed SSD 512gb drive. I use a Windows 7 bit blocker and other encryption software.

Using the Transcend Elite software bundled, you can use the built-in encryption to protect files and folders created on the storage device. Search for "Transcend Elite Software" on Youtube for more instructional information. Hope that helps.

It has no encryption or password protection built-in. You want a Data Traveler Locker drive for that.

It worked fine for me, was even recognized as A: drive which was what I needed for an old program unlock code. That was on Windows 7 ultimate.

In all honesty - IDK. I bought mine for my daughter. For whatever reason my husband set-up a password and of course - they forgot it!! Becasue there is no internal hard drive there is no way to unlock it - I took it to a professional, so now the device is useless. Good luck!!

We reviewed the Password Safe, I believe it was thru Hammercher Schlemmer (sp?) and we couldn't find any difference, so decided to go with the least expensive of the two. This password vault is working just fine. Hope this helps.

My virus protection (McAfee) is interfering with the backups as Erik noted below. I'm not sure how to correct it. However, I wouldn't count on Clickfree device still working. I plan on contacting Clickfree to figure out what's going on. In the meantime I'm backing up using a flash drive...sux.

No. Once you unlock the flash drive with the password, it acts just like any other one. It's just for basic storage only.

Frankly I have found NO external drive either desktop or portable that have been particularly easy to work with and customer service of all (WD, Seagate, or Toshiba) either don't reply period or if they do it's gooble-de-gook. Seems as though that the hardware is perfectly capable of storing data but retrieving it is another question. The software is totally, absurdly complex. (Ditto thumb drives with password protected sectors. Impossible!) IT folks decry the fact that no one bothers to back up anything. Guess why?
