USB pen drive encryption
 

I'm after a program that I can load onto my USB pen drive to protect the data no it (want to use it to store some passwords and stuff) but so far I can't find anything that does the job.

I've tried folder lock but it's only atial and seems to only work with a folder on your PD.

I tried trucrypt but found it to be overly complicated for what I want.

I've searched and searched but I can't find a simple program that will run from the drive on any PC and allow me to acess the files in a secure way.

Am I missing something simple or is this a pretty big gap in the market?

Anyone have any recommendations?

you could use winzip and the password protection

I've not used either of these, so can't really comment on whether they work (well) or not.

Really you shouldn't be writing passwords down, if you do don't put your user names with them and what they are for.

You could purchase a flash drive which features U3 such as this one

I have a disgo drive with U3 and you can password protect it so everytime you plug it into the USB port it prompts for that password.

How about using Peazip and putting the stuff in an archive - no compression unless you want it?

I use rohos mini drive which is free http://www.rohos.com/free-encryption/ never had a problem with it and you can choose the amount of space you want to encrypt. Give it a go.
