it takes times to understand but after this i find it out best software.

what to do if i forgot my password?

hi usb lock encryption is good.

I have a problem with your USB Lock 1.2.
I have installed it...but now it will not open.
It don't reconize the the hhd
on that extern HHD I have 900 LPS.
I want to know,what to do to open it
there must be a way,many thanks in advance

can anyone please elaborate me about its compatibility on linux?

wonderful it is independent to any PC....any installments and any other administrative requirement .... i like these apps that don't interfere my other programs ....
i admit really its a one click protection!

its has very dynamic data management interface. i like its simplicity ...

thank you usblock you make my ALL data my all files my all folders password protected... yeah size not t oworr

wooww its locking is superb... :)
I have just played few times and got that USB Lock is ideal for me as its protection is ON across all platforms

Hi, this is a great program. I love the simplicity of it.

Yesterday I did applied the USBlock on a 2Gb stick and left it locked.
Today I wanted to punt some files on that stick: no room, the stick was 122Kb and 100% used.
I could delete the file and also put one back,
Unregistered I could put in the password and gain access to the whole stick

it reduces the space by half, otherwise its good

Working Perfectly with my portable drive. No bug yet.

I pick a short password, and I'm told "Hint: password should be more than 16" I enter a long password (18-19 char), and I'm told "Password must be between 6-16"...Make up your mind!!

It works but ........

I cant close it unless i get windows to force it to close
I can't use help or options icons either

why do I need a password to protect it thought this was an one click solution
and more important no idea how to uninstall it !!!

What is the hint for here if it never shows to help the user?

I've used TrueCrypt for years on thumb drives. Never had any failures. I have nothing that government security agencies would be interested in, so the encryption flaw doesn't worry me. I'm more interested in keeping personal stuff away from associates, neighbors and fellow citizens should I lose a small (and they get smaller every day) drive.

Windows Explorer claims this application takes up 122K of the stick. When I try to delete it, I get a window asking me to confirm the delete, but this window claims it's 0k. Will those 122K be freed or not?

Okay, I tried sticks until I got one that it would work on. So I managed to install it on my stick and then I ejected the stick and pulled it out. Only then, did the program ask me for a password to protect it. I closed that, and put the stick in a few more times, playing with it until I felt I understood how this program works. For one thing: If it's protected and you enter the password correctly, it unprotects the stick and that's it. If you eject the stick after that, it's unprotected until you protect it again, by using this program with a password. On the other hand, if it's protected and you don't give it the correct password, it won't let you see anything on the stick aside from this program, which you then must run in order to give it the password to unprotect the stick again.

Personally, I don't feel very safe using this. On the one hand, there's always the possibility of ejecting the stick without having protected it again. On the other hand, there was a time when I entered the correct password but the program insisted that was incorrect and wouldn't let me see my files. Clicking the X in the upper right corner did not close that window, the big ? icon did nothing, and all I could do was pull the stick out and reinsert it. Fortunately, I was able to unprotect my stick after that so I got my data back. I intent to keep it, rather than trusting this software, which has already demonstrated that at any time it chooses, it can decide to keep my data locked away.

Hi, works fine. Locked up my external drive 500 gigs.

Only problem is that after protect is enabled, and I want to remove the drive. Windows informs me that I can't because there is a program attached to it, and i have to disable that before removal.

Can you assist?

It looked potentially useful so I tried to install it onto a USB stick. It said:
Error! Your USB device is formatted with the specifications that are currently not supported.

I don't mind that the English grammar is slightly strange, but I do mind that the error message is vague and doesn't tell exactly what's wrong. I tried this on two different-sized sticks from different manufacturers, and got that error both times.

I can't use this if that's all it does.

Not secure at all, there is no 256 bits key to secure the drive, it only hides the directories of the drive. Anyone with little skills in Linux can see the data if run under different operating system.

Seems to use SHA256 Encryption

its lock my usb but when i inster the password its say wrong password...
how can i delete it!

The downside of this version is it cannot remove the password from USB. This can't be done. Currently, the password cannot be reset (set as blank - for a new user) short of moving all contents to another drive and next reformatting the USB. But why so? On entering the correct password there should be a possibility to remove the password entirely or to set a blank one.

Nowadays when you buy a USB drive from the prominent brands on the market such as Sony, Sandisk, Transcend, etc...they all come with bundled USB encryption software.
In fact they are better than what is given away here.
They allow you to choose how big a portion you wish to encrypt on the USB drive, while allowing normal unrestricted copying and reading from the unencrypted portion.
...
One more important advantage.
They can be used without expiry date.
Unlike this GOTD software can only be installed in 1 day.
After that if your PC crashes or is damaged by malware and you lose the giveaway USB lock, then you will forever lose the data that you have encrypted.
Use either FREE software or PAID software (as in unlimited software bundled with hard ware purchase) if you wish to encrypt anything.

If anyone wants to check out the drive format, here are some strings from the first 4 Megabytes:

Important! USB Lock can be installed on a USB-drive only. The software provides a Lifetime license and free upgrades


This is what it says above in the description but the readme file that comes with the download contradicts that claim????

it says lifetime licence and free upgrades on this page but says no lifetime licence or upgrades on the readme text with the install package ...what up ??????

Techapplet :"Important! USB Lock can be installed on a USB-drive only. The software provides a Lifetime license and free upgrades!" I like to know how to manage those

I have installed and tried this program , so far i have had no problems with it , it delivered what it says , i am never very happy with such programs i always have this feeling they are contacting home and telling on you but sometimes you just take a chance .
I would like to thank techapplet for the program and especially this " The software provides a Lifetime license and free upgrades! " this you dont see here very often if it really applies . Thanks to all concerned .
Thanks Giveaway of the day .

Installed on Win 10 64 bit and tested ... A complete waste of time and effort. I tried to lock an external USB hard drive and it didn't work ... Nothing was protected. I set up password and then tried disconnecting and reconnecting the drive and was able to access everything on the drive, nothing popped up requesting a password. We should be getting $29.99 for the time wasted on this.

Are there security or other issues using Safehouse Explorer instead on your flash drive?

http://www.safehousesoftware.com/SafeHouseExplorer.aspx

According to Web User magazine (issue 392) the best way to encrypt a USB stick is veracrypt (veracrypt.codeplex.com).
Even that seems like a long way round to me: I use Safehouse Explorer and just transfer the files...

Installed, pressed on protect, and nothing happened. Maybe it needs better directions.
Thanks for the try!

I only use macOS and iOS so I am locked out of this deal.

I have forgotten my Password. How can I get it back?
Please contact our customer support at help@techapplet.com

So there is a backdoor?

And how long does it take to decrypt (until it gets accessible) a 2 TB USB-drive?

what was commented by just was correct the usb drive is not protected automatically after you have taken out the pen drive from the port

Bad.
When fou forget to enter the password and remowe the usb drive, the drive becomes not protected..
In such programs it is necessary to automatically lock the usb drive after removing it from PC

Junk, don't waste your time. Doesn't Work At All.

This looks very cool. I will try it out and report back. :)
