Tech Tip: How to set a password on a USB stick 

1:26 That dramatic look when taking the USB stick out is priceless

if I plug this into a computer with a different operating system will it still let me unlock the drive

what is bit locker? Do I have to download it? Do I have to install it? Is safety to pull off the flash drive (usb stick) like that?

Now you can have those collections of videos and pictures safe. You know what I mean ಠ‿ಠ

whats with every one of these videos assuming that we have windows 10 pro.

I just got a Sandisk 256gb Thumb. when i right click on it...in 'my computer'... i do not get 'turn on bit locker' option? any tips?

when i right click is doesnt say turn on bitlockr help plz

will it let you put the password in and access the drive on any computer? or only on the computer with the program?

how come my flash drive doesn't have a bitlocker on it?

I do not have bitlocker What should I do?

i dont see the option when i right click on the USB file :(

Say for example I locked my flash drive using my windows 10 PC and I later tried to use my drive on a computer running previous version of windows or (god forbid) an Apple device. Does the computer accessing the drive need any software to access the drive or is everything contained on the drive?Edit: During the setup it gives you the option of choosing compatibility mode which will work with older versions of windows. It didn't say anything about apple devices.

How do I do this if both of my computers are running Windows 10? There is not "Turn on BitLocker" option.

My question is "What if someone first uninstall bitlocker from the system" to open usb ? will it work?

What about enterprise unix and linux ? Do you think its better advice to advise all customers to get indipendently encrypted USB units ?

Why do you think we have bittlocker you didn't even leave a link in description

Not only is it unavailable on 11 Home, but it's also hackable as seen on RU-vid. I need a encrypted password on the drive itself that will ask for it whenever it's plugged in.

the problem is anybody can format the usb stick which is also not appreciated , there should be a format security too.

Why assume everybody had window 10 pros? A lot of us don't. Please help.

How to forget password . because I miss my password

If you use Bitlocker to lock will you be able to open on any computer or only ones with Bitlocker

I really needed this! Thank you. Now i have to doit 15 times >:( of only the encryption didnt take ages

So do I need special software - Bitlocker??

Thank you! I've been needing this because I save my passwords and unknown things on my USB Flash drive.

Thanks for that but of course we need windows pro to do that. What about other windows versions

What about if the USB drive is a bootable Windows 11 drive???

Does encrypting the USB with this slow down the read/write performance?

You didn't eject your disc properly. Feel ashamed

I was looking for a way to let someone access the files (Play Videos and watch text) without using a password but they could not alter the contents. Any suggestions?

0:46 I right clicked but there is no bit-locker buddy ? can u explain plz.. thank you

Thanks bro 🤜 , it has been very very helpful to me in protecting my pendrives and extrenal hard drives

but if you win 10 bitlocker a password on your pen drive i wont be unlock-able on win 7 etc ????, same with bit locked hdd's ; ?

THIS WAS THE EASIEST, MOST HELPFUL AND MOST TIME CONSCIOUS VIDEO EVER🥺❤️

yeah it work... but now cant Disable USB Write Protection, I've tried , regedit, cmd, and local machine, none worked. people have to be aware when you set a password.

what will happen when we connect the protected pendrive In to a mobile device?

But we can format it without any password. can tell any software which can't be formatted with out the key which we have encrypted to that pen drive???

If I set up a password, do I have to encrypt the contents.

But if you put the USB in to a Mac or Samsung product it will not work right ?

Is that works on any windows 10 version specially home edition o mean i didnt find turn on bitlocker

Thanks, 100% what I was looking for!

How do you go about taking the lock off when you don't need it?

I have several utility repair programs that my virus program thinks they are a virus. If I password protect my thumb drive will it keep my virus program from going onto it and disable .exe files that it thinks are a virus? I like the SD cards since they have a sliding lock/unlock to keep this from happening.

Does this method work on a USB-C thumb drive?

Hi, is there anything like BitLocker for windows 8.1. Having real trouble finding anything to help. Thanks if you know of anything

Informative. Thank you Orin.

This encrypted flashdrive can open in any other os like linux or in other devices?

After you set up your password on the flash drive, can the flash drive be accessed on any other PC that you plug it into?

Does doing this might also prevent viruses?

is this only available with windows 10???

Need to preface that bitlocker is not available for Windows 10 Home

This video is missing details because I do not have the open with bitlocker option, so I am stuck on the right click on the USB stick

hello, i just like to ask is this application compatible to windows 10 home?

Great stuff mate, exactly what I was looking for. Cheers.

What if I put the stick into another PC or Mac? What if it’s video files and someone plugs into a TV?

If I connect the password protected usb into my mobile phone what will happen?

Im my settings it doesn't show bitlocker on pendrive

lol! my FD does not have this bit lock. What do I do?

thanks , I did follow this of your advise since 2029 and it works , thank you

All this time I didn't know I could put an lock on these annoying flash drive, unless I brought those 30 40 dollars one that tells you to set up a lock, thanks for that the lesson.

Will my USB flash drive still ask for a password if I use it with my phone

Do I need to download this bit.lock thing?

thanks a lot, this was really helpful

The issue is I don't have pro edition of Windows. Is there any alternatives?

I have Windows 7 that's why bit locker option is not showing??

available in Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise only

I donjt see that App bit locker i have Win 10 or 11

Thank you so much. it made my life a bit easy

Not bit locker

its awesome... thanks a lot mr. thomas.. APPRECIATED.

This video is a waste of time for most users. The thick-headed presenter should have said up front that BitLocker is only available on Windows 1o Pro and Windows Enterprise. Better yet, he should have put that info in the title.

what site do you get bitlocker on?

Thanks mate very helpful.

Awesome, thanks!

I forgot my password how can I reset it. Thanks

but how to make have no password when you go in?

Is this a feature only supported for Windows OS?

I was so shock when i lost some important files on my USB Flash drive, Hope that this Works well and they will never ever stole my work again.

I can't find the bit locker when I right clicked

No bitlocker option

I didn't get this option

Thank you

my documentries are now secured thanks

that was easy, thank you for the video!

I encrypted my flash drive, pretty easy, but it won't let me enter my password anywhere. There isn't anywhere that pops up asking for a password. any suggestions?

I see you didn't safely remove your USB drive.. I too like to live dangerously

This video shows you that you don't need any 100% free to download softwares to do it ;) Recommended to use this simple method

What if they reformat the flashdrive , will the encryption will be gone too ?

i am on kingstons usb cant seam to secure mine :
