i want only password protection, not encryption. Can i turn encryption off?

All you have to do is enter the password when you insert the USB and click the USB's icon and all your files are available for opening. Really easy actually. I'm pretty sure they are not encrypted...if it is, it automatically decrypts when you enter the correct password.

Yes. I only use the password protection Function - it is on by default when you first plug the drive into your computer. To get encryption, you have to run the program on the drive. I never ran it and just use the password protection.

As far as I can see, it only has password protection. When I enter my password, my files are immediately accessible. I couldn't see in the instructions that it has any other functions, and password protection is the only thing I want.

No, it is great. Do put a password so it doesn't run features when you don't want it to.

There's 4 different encryption settings. You pick the level of security you want. Create a pass code as hard or simple as you wish. Since this is dual band, you can opt to allow acces to either band. I found all the setup to be very easy. For one time users/guests there's a button to push on the router that allows access without the passcode.

I am using the RecZone Password SAFE which seems to be a newer or more advance version of this product. Any answers I have offered here are based upon the instructions pamphlet that came with the PassWord Safe.

Safely remove hardware doesn't actually do anything, it only checks to make sure no files are still being transferred before saying "okay to remove hardware." Therefore it's fine to just turn them off.

It doesn't matter that the password is shared by everyone. It wouldn't even matter if you named the SSID "Password_is_password" then made the password "password." It would still provide encryption that is essentially not brute-force crackable.

No on board software for that. You can get software separately. However, I use mine both encrypted and not. The bulk of my data (photos, reading/reference, tools and such) do not need encryption. I do, however, keep my financial info on there encrypted by using a free tool called TrueCrypt.

I use it for my Xbox one which formatted it upon it being synced so I do not have one. But for a computer I am not sure. I would imagine there is a way to secure it with a password.

Check page 8 & 9 of instruction manual. I had no problem with entering my password which is also a combination. Good luck.

Yes it does and you can turn it off with the A/F key. I would not recommend this unit to anyone as I am into the second one under warrantee and it still does not function right. The moment you press the C/CE key once and it only should cancel the last entry it cancels the whole calculation or kicks you out of your password protection area. I have used another make before and never had this happen. I just chalked this up as a loss as I did not want to go to the hassle of getting another one. Hope this helps you. Good luck.

It's funny you ask that because first day I had it I was messing around with key commands and I turned it off and since then I've been too lazy to google how to turn it back on. So yeah you can turn it off.

No there are no built in passwords but if that is what you are looking for you will need to download a program to do so

Changing passwords is very easy! Most annoying thing is characters that require the shift key, i.e. ! @ # etc., are shown in red on the keys. The power on/off button is red......I have turned off the unit multiple times by accidentally hitting the red power button.

Unfortunately, you'll have to do a hard reset in order to disable the password. But that means you'll lose anything saved on the tablet memory. Good luck:-)

I believe you can lock them, but not password protect them. Once locked I do not think you can unlock

I don't see anyway you could disable it from the inside. It would have to be keyed entry on both sides for that to work. Sorry. :(

The encryption is handled by the hardware. You do not need to do anything or install anything for it to work.
